Why am I crying...

Why am I crying, you have no clue?

Why do I cry myself to sleep at night,
Because, your eyes are distant, your smile is vague.
My heart is filled with a dark, dark fright
Devours my life, my soul, with plague.


Why am I crying, what is wrong?

I ask so often, do you really love me?
You say you do, forever and always, of course you do.
I want to run, I want to break free.
But I tell myself, we’ll work it through.


Why am I crying, what can you do?

I feel nothing, when you touch my skin
Your job is your passion, your mistress to adore,
I am no match, I can’t ever win,
I’m afraid you want her more.


Why am I crying, and for so long?

This is the reason for all my tears,
I wish I could show you this poem, and open my heart,
Show you my sorrow and all my fears,
Instead I’ll rip this paper apart…
