Don’t you cry for me
Not one tear
Don’ you cry for me

Who am I to make you cry?
Why is it me that makes you whole?
Why is it me you love so much?
You deserve better that what I give
I’m cold and dark and rude and mean
Although this was not how it used to be
But still you stay and cry for me
There is nothing here anymore
Nothing but an empty shell
My sole I fear is down in hell
And still you cry for me

There is an end you have to see
There is an end to your agony
Its coming soon
You’ll be fine
Now its here your no longer mine

And so you leave and say to me
“This is the last drop I spill for you
I’ll cry no more
I have lost all hope
I loved so much and tried so hard
My heart is smashed
Here take this shard
Hold it tight and keep it safe”

“One last kiss”  
Your sweet lips press to mine
I feel you love I feel you cry
A tear runs down your cheek
Your eyes begin to swell
You take my hand and hold it tight
“I know you feel it I feel it to
I only ever wanted to be with you
So out that door you go

I know I lost in side my mind
It’s a maze I used to know
I will again find my way  
Ill find my self
Then find you
We’ll live for each other
Just me and you

of course i wish i could create the words
to send shivers through your body
and rattle you right down to the bones
of course i wish i could pull gasps and cries from the crowd
and force tears down the cheeks
of even the most stubborn of nonbelievers
of course i wish i could make music with the way
i arrange 26 funny little shapes
or splash paint across the walls of every mind in the room
or at the very least, say something
but the truth of the matter remains
that i may never do that
and my words may never be anything more than words
and they may never mean anything
to anyone
but me
but maybe,
if it's not too much to ask,
you could take this little bit of me with you
fold it up small and put it in your pocket
or your wallet
or tuck it behind your ear
and promise me
that when the time is right
you'll unfold it and feel something
