if i cry tonight
i will cry
for all the other hundred sad reasons
i might think of
but not because of you.
if i cry tonight
perhaps i’ve remembered
the wounds i thought i’ve healed
or the scars i thought i never had
you are not supposed to comfort me.
you are to remain oblivious
and dismiss everything
as just another bad dream
that i’m having.
just for tonight
go back to your world
and as usual
i’ll go to my corner
and lick my wounds
and cry myself to sleep
if i cry tonight
i will cry
for all the other hundred sad reasons
i might think of
but not because of you.
