The Last Time I Cried

Noted Nest

The last time I cried?

Was when I died!

You must think I've lost my mind!

Here I am writing these lines.


The girl who played all day in the mud,

Came home only when mom made a fuss!


The girl who smiled from sunrise to sunset,

Was told that she was the happiest human one has met!


The girl who went all out to help ,

Was on her toes when her mates needed her , she felt!


The girl who hadn't seen pain!

She saw the world through the rose tinted glass frame!


The girl whose innocence was a feast to many eyes;

Never was burdened knowing the hurt of lies.


She is the one who died!

Now she has nowhere to confide.


Minces her words so others are comfortable;

Buries her pain so others feel fine!


Quietly she burns her desires:

So others don't feel the fires.


Smiles in a crowd but feebly cries

In her lonely heart, 

she wails behind the chirpy disguise!


The last time I cried

Was when that little girl died.
