You made me cry

You made me cry

For all the things I’ve left undone

And all my sins left unforgiven

And all the hurt and harm

That I have done and yet may do

And still remain unforgiven.

I see these things reflected in your face

And for all these things you made me cry.

You made me cry

For your desperate plight

I found you cold and hungry

And all you did was look at me.

And you were so pitifully alone.

You stabbed me with that cruelest blade,

My own

And I accepted the wound.

You raised your eyes and locked with mine

For the briefest of moments

Unshed tears and untold tales

Poured forth in that instant

I was undone and left at a loss for a witty reply.

And For All These Things You Made Me Cry.

You made my cry

By saying “Goodbye”

A word I never thought to hear

It hung in the air between us

Caught Between Acceptance And Disbelief

It rolls so easily off the tongue

Yet lands with a sickening finality

Shattering plans and dreams

And For All These Things You Made Me Cry.

You made me cry

I have never cried before

And now I cannot stop.

I cry for all the things that will never be,

For All The Things That Are Left Undone,

I cry for things I’ve tried and failed,

I cry for all of the “Goodbyes”

That ended so many plans.

And For all these things you made me cry.
