YOU SHOWED ME HOW TO CRY

     As a child I never cried, when I was punished
          I never cried
     When I would hurt myself
          I never cried
     There were times when I would try and force myself
          yet I couldn't cry
     My best friend was killed
          yet I couldn't cry
     My father died in a work accident
          yet I couldn't cry
     I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me
          then I met you
     Your love composed feelings I never felt before
          and I cried
     There were times you made me feel exceptionally good
          and I cried
     There were times you evoked anguish
          and I cried
     At times we would cry together  
          You showed me how to cry.
     You have depart from my life
          I cry no more
