• Sometimes when I'm alone I Cry, Cause I am on my own. The tears I cry are bitter and warm. They flow with life but take no form I Cry because my heart is torn. I find it difficult to carry on.

Then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. And sometimes... I Cry and no one cares about why.
