6 Million Tears

holocaust poem

6 million tears
I cried for you,
As hate appears
Like no one knew.

The scenes replaying in my head,
The dawn is breaking on the dead.

6 million hates
That I repressed,
All at the gate
Inside my chest.

The screams I hear are those of doom,
Of no more life and heavy gloom.

6 million tears
You shed alone,
All of these years
That you have grown.

Of life and love and pain and hurt,
With disaster they did flirt.

6 million tears
I shed for us,
And those who were lost
On naive trust.
