When a Woman Cries

"Don't stand there,mouth agape Staring at the lines on my face,like a map It was you who put me out of shape You,who always make me snap. What you once felt for me is all gone Sometimes I've an edge to pick up the phone But I'm afraid if I call the police The bruises and scars,they might not notice. It's something I accumulated over the years Judging by the rivers and oceans of tears. Extinguish from your eyes that distant light After all these years you have no right. It hurts like hell Withdrawing into a shell, Seeing all those women in your life When I'm supposed to be your wife. There are many things that I miss I've forgotten the taste of your kiss And the only thing that I remember Is that we were married in december If open to my wish lay all nature I would command time to rub its signature Off my back.Maybe young again I would learn to fall in love again". When a woman cries Something in her eyes Tries to swim but dies. Is it hope,faith or maybe lies.
