Weep for Me Truett Ramsey ‘21
There is beauty in the sadness and pain
Of our lives, the juxtaposition of Our unity, tears expelled in water. Their presence there and gone in a moment. No one can see you cry underwater, No one can feel you shake underwater, No one can hear you scream underwater Unless they are drowning too. The bitter Company of mutual destruction, Salty tears indistinguishable from Ocean water melancholy waves take Me away. Lachrymose Niobe, weep Even as you change. The ocean weeps too, For in its waters, the sadness lingers.
