I`ve never cried <br />until she died <br />lying in bed <br />rolling from side to side <br />closing my eyes <br />i`m nothing but blind <br />no more rest <br />no more sleep <br />my soul is destroyed <br />from surface to deep <br />i`ve never wet the land <br />where i stand <br />**** <br />i`ve never dropped a tear <br />in a moment of fear <br />till the time my heart <br />was torn by a spear <br />till the time my guide <br />was no longer near <br />i cried and cried <br />my face never dried <br />the only time i cried <br />was when humanity died<br /><br />Tareq Jalabi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/she-74/
