I Cry

I cry for you each night,
Although you cry for someone else.
I can’t tell you how it hurts,
The pain destroys me.

I cry for your sadness,
But you do not know of mine.
Each time we speak I feel it,
I feel the pain that you don’t see.
Please take that away from me.

I cry to see your happiness,
For I know it will not last.
I want to help, but don’t know how,
For my help steals your happiness.

I cry because I care so much,
More than you’ll ever know.
I must find the strength to care that much,
And share that strength with you.

I cry for what I see you do each day.
I cry for what your past has made of you,
But most of all I cry because you do not cry for me.
