Why I cry
Tell me why you cry, little girl
Your tear-stained face upturned
to stars in the night
Teardrops rolling off your eyelash curl
As you pray for help with all your might

Tell me why you cry, please do
For someone knows
though you smile when bright
But alone at night, the sky a dark hue
Tears falling, under the covers pulled up tight

Tell me why you cry, won't you?
It's distressing
to see you have to fight
Your sadness, grief, regret and rue
You never know - someone may make things right

***

I'll tell you why I cry dear stranger
I'll share with you
the reasons for my tears
Just promise me that you won't snigger
At my story, my upset and my fears

Well, have you ever been hurt so bad
You feel you've been
completely destroyed
You start out by feeling really sad
Yet some hope remains in the sea, still buoyed

As time goes by, patience wearing thin
And stranger-
you'll start to wonder
Dark thoughts begin to wander within
Eating into your mind and yonder

Anger at everything, at how you've been robbed
And all you want to do is forget
completely
Until one day when thinking as you sob
You realise that it's all your fault - entirely

So now you see why I cry, dear person
Why I simply cannot let go
'cause my heart says one thing
and so does my reason
That the fault is mine and mine alone

***

But little girl, things will get better - you'll see
Take this from someone who knows exactly why

Dear person, you never knew this, but actually
All I really want is you
That's why I cry
