Before I Can Cry

Before I Can Cry My heart is breaking deep inside, Some how I must try to stem this tide. My heart has been told many a lie, I have to ease the pain, before I can cry. You left me this morning; you couldn’t take any more, I have lost my love, and it’s hard to ignore. I never had a chance to even say good-bye, I have to clear my head, before I can cry. My nights find me gazing up at the stars, My aching heart is covered with many scars. Some how our love has gone completely awry, I need to accept this, before I can cry. You said you loved me right from the start, If you did, why do I have a broken heart? You are gone and I don’t know why. I need to get over you, before I can cry. ©2009 Lynn B. Glover
