Late Last Nite

last night i cried the kind of cry
that hurt my heart, pyschically sickening.

the cry that feels it sheds your soul.
the cry that peels away layers of your inner self.

i cried for people out there who hurt worse than i do,
have worse than i do. i hurt for them too.

one of the saddest things to me,
i think a year ago i cried just the same.
