I will not cry for you
because you don't need my tears
this extra salt
will not comfort you
nor give you strength
I will not cry for you
because my tears will not change anything
my tears will not bring you back
my tears cannot recreate the life we had
I will not cry for you
because you can't see my tears
and you do not understand
how much I've lost
I will not cry for you
because you were always above tears
tears are for the weak
who cannot change the present
and cannot face the past
and you are neither of those things
So I will not cry for you
I will carry on
into the great unknown
to do honor to all that you have given me
and to the person you once believed I was
but every day
I will cry for me
because all my life
was not enough time
