I Write Poetry

A sudden tear by now should fall
for shadows of people I do recall
leaving my heart with their footsteps pace
echos cracking that cold empty place

That place was the home within I sleep
and now its the seldom my heart shall weep
A price of pride I regret that I pay
A helpless wish for the shadows to stay

I stood up high from between the crowd
holding that smile showing much am proud
that for once I say am the one to blame
for once I say my tears are not a shame
