The Cry

The Cry

I hear a cry,

I hear a moan

Who could it be?

Why did I hear?!

Oh, it’s so creepy

Oh ! Its so mysterious.

I walk in the room,

All happy and lost in tune.

I looked here and there,

But the person was nowhere.

Then what was that cry?

What was the moan?

Someone walked to me and pointing said :

Is that your heart bleeding?

Shocked I was to see my whimpering heart,

My poor little heart.

I caressed it,

But it could barely speak.

It was numb.

It was so dumb.

Probably out of words, it was

Or speech - it forgot.
