Why Do You Cry?

Written February 24, 2008

You ask why do i cry,why,
and my response to You is
another cascade of tears
tumbling down my face.
You hurt,You hurt at the
sight of my swollen eyes
and the sound of my
choking, trembling voice.
and only more and more
saline drops fall,falling
because i never wanted
to hurt you.
