Why Don't You Cry

Why Don't You Cry

Every one says,
Why don't you cry,
You shead not a tear,
When your mother did die,
And there weren't any tears,
When your daughter passed away,
And there's still no tears to this day.
Are you cold and have no heart,
You show more emotion when your car won't start,
We saw no tears for your granny or your pop,
Most people would cry, their tears wouldn't stop,
But you stand there like an old cold stone,
All by yourself and all alone.

You see no tears comming out of my eye,
But that don't mean that I don't cry,
The tears flow free when I'm by myself,
With just my thoughts and not much else,
I cry when I think of the good times and bad,
And all of the things I wish I had said,
I still cry for my daughter, my dad and my mother,
So please don't judge this book,
By what you read on the cover.
