i cried last night (to the lovers)

i cried last night

i cried. tears. they fell.

...fell...
......fell...
.........fell...

until I was overcome

like raindrops on water
the ripples of pain flowed

they echoed in my heart
repeating and slowly fading
as they reached the shoreline

i whispered in my sleep
woke up to my own voice
crying out...

...please love me.

and little did i know
your voice followed mine

i do...

...i cried last night

tears flowed

...faster...
......faster still...

and i laughed
