In A Cup
by
Sekhem Psikor Strecker
Stare at those shards that are autumn leaves
Is it wiser to cover your pain?
Though there are scars, let me heal them
And shield you away from the rain
Could you find solace in my soul?
And hope that I love you the more
Let me wipe that tear from your cheek again
I can see that pain of yours
Whisper to those dreams
That won't come
Your wishes are falling away
Like the sand
That was once you and your freedom
And the love that you held
In a cup
Don't weep for the sake of your losses
Instead weep for the joy that's to come
I can understand your convictions
And be known that your trials are done
Is it wiser to cover your pains and
Hide your beautiful skin under stone
Whisper to those dreams and relive them
And be known that you are not alone
