I Cry ..

Sometimes when I'm alone I cry
Because I'm on my own
The tears I cry are bitter warm
They flow with life but take no form
I cry because my heart is torn
I find it difficult to carry on
If I had an ear to confide in
I would cry among my treasured friend
But who do you know who stops that long
To help another carry on
The world moves fast and would rather pass by
Than to stop and see what makes one cry
So painful and sad
And sometimes....
I cry and no one cares about why.
