My Plea
It was scarlet, Then it was purple. The diamonds hang lonely, The pearls look up sadly. Rain pours dramatically, Sun shines sternly. I look up at the Universe, And see how they lament with me. I flooded the world, And the year soothes me. Months embrace me, And lull me in their arms. Days shower me with kisses, But no one can take away the pain. Oh, pain! I cried at night. Oh, pain! I plea, "go away!" Finally my pleas are heard, But pain leaves a mark. A crack in my Universe, and cannot be fixed.
