Because I closed my eyes to reality my whole world became a phantasy <br />I spent my life in an artificial situation <br />I gave my sincere love to a false-hearted man <br /> <br />There were two of us in an unreal world in which I alone lived <br />Death would have been sweeter if I had lived first <br />I was a slave to desperation simply because I wanted <br /> <br />I closed my eye to reality, my whole world became a phantasy <br />Man, you know what you did for me all those years <br />You made a crying woman cry harder <br /> <br />My tears became rain drops, my dark clouds blended in with the night <br />Hid what little light the moon and stars gave <br />For years the tears had rebelled remaining steadfast within <br /> <br />I was already crying <br />I thought all of me would capsize and drown in my reservoir of hurt <br />I shut most of me out so you may be in <br />I gave you practically all of me, I didn’t exist <br /> <br />I wanted emotional support <br />The only time I received attention was <br />When you wanted to <br /> <br />You made a crying woman cry harder <br /> <br />I love me now <br />I’m not all those negative things singing a sad song <br />Making me feel all wrong for wanting to explore <br />Finally adore, the real me <br /> <br />I’m a beautiful woman, I see, I feel, I know the goodness of myself <br />I’m willing to cry, sorrow brought joy<br /><br />Josephine DixonBanks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/make-a-crying-woman-cry-harder/
