Teach me to Cry!

I want to cry!
Until my face is soaked with my own tears,
I want to cry my eyes out,
Until the pain inside my heart vanishes,
Or lessens.
I just want to sit on the floor,
And I want to feel my tears on my thighs,
On my knees.
I want to drown in my own sorrow.
I want to let it out.

But I don’t know how to.
I know I’m grieving,
Not for someone else.
I’m grieving for my own soul!
I thought I lost it,
But I think it’s dead.
So, I want to cry.
But I don’t know how to.
It feels like my eyes are too dry,
I can feel my sorrow building up in my heart.
I just don’t know how to let it out.

Would you teach me to cry?
I want my tears to fade away my pain.
I want my tears to make me feel better.
Just like they used to.
Please teach me to cry,
If you do that, I promise
I owe you big time,
I’ll be eternally grateful,
Just for making me cry!
