Cry me a river

For a contest.

Cry me a river

Of your precious tears

Wash away your sins

Your crimes, your whims

 

Cry me a river

Out of guilt or fear

For all your lies

Your deceptive disguise

 

Cry me a river

Shout, scream, shiver

For the loneliness you face

The utter disgrace

 

Cry me a river

And lose yourself forever

In its dusty grime

Drown with your crimes

Author's Note

There you go. The better part of my poetry requires a prompting of all sorts. :)
