Timothy Aull Poet I do not know?

A Man Cries

A Man Cries

(Tear)
Runs down my face
(Tear)

Broken 
This I clearly see
Broken
However it may be
Broken

(Tear)
I like to fix things that are broken
(Tear)
How do you fix whats broken
(Tear)
If it doesnt accept it is broken
(Tear)

This is the problem
The problem that plagues me
This is the problem
The reason for the tears
This is the problem
The conundrum that I face
This is the problem
The pain that makes me weep
This is the problem

(Tear)
I cry because I care
(Tear)
I cry because I fear
(Tear)
I cry because your broken 
(Tear)
I cry because I cant fix you
(Tear)
I cry because you dont want me to
(Tear)

These tears I cry
in darkness
These tears I cry
in light
These tears I cry
in sorrow
These tears I cry
in hate
These tears I cry
in agony
These tears I cry
in all my might
These tears I cry

(Tear)
I cant stop crying
(Tear)
I really wish I could
(Tear)
I am a man
(Tear)
But men truly do cry too
(Tear)
These tears I shed
(Tear)
I shed them here for you
(Tear)
I shed these tears because your broken and I cant fix you no matter how I try
(Tear)
