When Was My Last Cry?

Silence falling, shadows stir,

Echoes of a pain so pure.

When did I last cry?

Not counting days, just feelings deep inside,

Like a storm that quietly begins,

A gust tearing from within.

I cried when my father silenced forever,

The world grew quiet, his voice gone,

Wisdom and guidance, now just memory,

A hand that pointed where I belonged.

Oh, when was my last tear?

Falling hard, heavy, sincere.

Lost in the quiet after the storm,

Echoes of love, now gone.

I cried when my mother forgot my name,

Her gentle touch, her eyes so strange,

Holding my hand, yet unrecognizable,

A goodbye that felt so unthinkable.

Then she left, leaving shadows,

Empty halls, a silent home,

Tears spilled over os silence,

A heart so lost, so alone.

Oh, when was my last tear?

Falling hard, heavy, sincere.

In a place of loss, I dwell,

Stories only silence can tell.

Crying for what I had,

Crying for what was lost,

Maybe I didn't deserve,

But the pain, it’s the cost.

When was my last cry?

Hidden in my soul, a silent sky.

Waiting for the day,

When I can let the tears fly free.
