Cry Baby
I had everything set-
Today is the day i tell her-
I'm done-
This time I'm more than ready and well within my right to take a stand-
I'm tired of expressing feelings that get over looked until they turn into demands-
Being that one that grants everyone a second chance is over-
And with the coldness in my heart enhanced I firmly plant my feet in the soil and stand my ground-
And decide that these circumstances have forced me to finally wash my hands-
Of you-
And then...-
An unexpected factor interrupts my plans-
Brings to a halt the whole jolt of confidence i had readied for myself-
The coldness I had obtained would steadily melt away-
From the fact that every decision has a price to pay and this one would surely bring hell to my heart-
And with that considered this frigid bitter cold I had acquired was doomed from the start-
She cried y'all-
She cried openly and uncontrollably-
Expressed how she can't deal with the fact over never again holding me-
And the thought of someone else isn't something she can live with-
And someone else with me is just making her want to kill shit-
And she cried-
She cried angry and passionate-
And asked where was the love, faith, honor, and passion at-
She said she know she has made mistakes you tell me who hasn't that-
And I ain't made half as bad that for you to make me feel as bad as this-
And she cried-
She cried hopeful and destroyed-
And now I'm somewhat annoyed-
This is what i was trying to avoid-
Lord knows I can't afford to see this-
The one that makes her cry Lord knows I can't be this-
And she's crying-
Tears streaming down her dark face gives the resemblance of oil leaking from out of the earth-
But you couldn't put a price on what those tears are worth-
I'm wishing she would not let them fall so easily-
That rain over the window to your souls pane should be kept safe-
Hidden somewhere for your future to appreciate-
Like when your daughter is old enough to understand and you show her your tears and let her know that you've cried enough for the both of you-
Those tears should only be accessible for joyous occasions-
Like your son not becoming a statistic and your daughter not becoming a victim-
Like you not becoming either-
Those tears should be worth crying-
Moments in life that assure you, you won't ever have to cry again because they are so special that will only happen once-
But those beautiful genuine tears should not be shed for me-
For doing so defeats my whole purpose-
I'm only doing this now so your later cries won't worsen-
I'm not perfect-
I'm not a once in a lifetime chance at love-
And I know I try hard but I don't even know if deserve it-
Not like i know you do-
And those tears-
No baby I'm not worth them-
So don't cry baby-
Hit me-
Hate me-
Loathe and detest me-
Forget and regret me-
And because I'm walking away-
Let me-
But stop crying-
Stop wasting tears on something that won't be worth them tomorrow-
Because you'll need them-
(But you won't need me-)
And to much crying over things that aren't worth your tears could result in the inability to use them when they're necessary-
Now which one of those thoughts seem scariest to you-
Which one of those is more frightening to lose-
Even if you had a choice-
I wouldn't let you choose-
It ain't that bad-
You are not dying-
Don't cry baby-
Baby stop crying///
