You almost made me cry

camelot

 

I dont remember the last time i cried

Probably when my grandpa died

First a shock, then the ride back home

On the bus full of people i couldnt cry 

 

For the man that gave me this ironic name

Its funny how i couldnt cry for him

My eyeballs watered but they didnt shed

Not a drop of the pain i felt within 

 

Then my grandmother, she used to care a lot

She cried for me when i broke my hand

A sudden heart attack, in the bus i stood

Wasnt for all those strangers, to cry i would 

 

Then you!, for whom i cared so much

Just like my grandparents you couldn't see

Because you were gone almost in a rush

That morning you heart stopped beating for me

 

 

They're gone forever, just like you and I

And even though, i was willing to try

I almost wept, when their hearts stopped beating

Just like when yours did, almost made me cry 

 

I hope i see y'all at the afterparty

Ive heard wine is allowed back there

We can finally get wasted and i can let them all out

The tears that show just how much i cared.

    Great poem. When we should cry, we don't, but that doesn't mean we don't care. In the quiet times, it all comes together, and we feel at peace with ourselves.
