Sometimes I Cry

Sometimes I sit here silently,
please don’t ask me why;
I sit here all alone inside,
and I just sit and cry.

Sometimes it’s something that you said,
a look you threw my way;
sometimes it’s something I have said,
when I should’ve just walked away.

Sometimes it’s because I’m happy,
and the tears role down my face;
sometimes it’s because I’m so angry,
a short, silent fall from grace.

Sometimes it’s because I miss someone,
who has left this world before me;
Sometimes I think it’s hormonal,
over something even I don’t see.

Sometimes it’s lyrics to a song,
that move my very soul;
Sometimes it’s something deep inside,
an empty deep dark hole.

So, yes sometimes I sit here silently,
please don’t ask me why;
I sit here in the quiet and dark,
and I just sit and cry.
