Cry Baby Cry

Cry Baby Cry

Cry baby cry beneath the bedroom light

Pillow soaked heavy through another long night

Tiny cracked heartbeat too wounded to sleep

Trying so hard all the hurt not to keep

They called you dramatic whenever you wept

Mocked all the feelings you desperately kept

As though soft hearts were a weakness to hide

Instead of proof something living survived

Tears rolled silent like rain down your face

Falling unnoticed all over the place

Nobody asking what caused all the pain

Only demanding you toughen again

Cry baby cry till your whole chest shakes

Sometimes that pressure is too much to take

Sorrow grows poisonous buried too deep

Grief needs a doorway somewhere it can seep

One day the crying simply grew still

Not because healing had entered your will

Something inside you just finally froze

A sadness too tired to openly show

Now when you comfort another in pain

Your voice grows gentle like soft falling rain

Perhaps the broken know best what to say

After surviving such dark heavy days

So cry baby cry if your heart needs release

Not every storm arrives shattering peace

Some tears are sacred and painfully true

Proof there is still something human in you
