A Cry 8/30/83

Mankind, why do you kill?
With words you stab
What have I done to you?
To have you rip out my heart

I write my emotions
And you slash them to death
Does this give you joy?
As it gives me pain

A cry for the insults
Give them to me directly
Or do you fear?
To confront life and love

If my words offend
I pity you, tell me!
The knife twists deeper
And I die a little more

A Cry 12/26/84

I am played out, having given all
There is nothing left for me to give
My heart is broken, and I am dying
Yet I live, for another holds a spark of me

I beg for help, from other spirits
Send me your joys, to heal my wounds
As I have touched you, touch me
I want to live, need to live

I feel the healing, strength returns
Thank you, I knew you would be there
We feed each other, save each other
I will grow strong, be alive

Mary Hauck
