Big Boys Dont Cry

Big guys don’t cry

 Its hard when you just want to shed only one tear,
 for that person you loved the most, you prayed for
 That person who you had built your world upon,
 Promises of forever with you,
 wanted forever with you, 
 Needed forever with you
 Every bone of love broken
...
 Big guys don’t cry, that maybe true
 Let me cry for my loss, for I loved her, 
 I loved so much that I was forgetting myself
 Love so true, coming from a man
 Love so unconditional, with no boundaries
 I loved her, now she tramples on my heart

 Let me cry for my loss, because I want to
 Please do not tell me big guys don’t cry
 Betrayed by a friend, sharing love with her
 How do I not cry, I need to cry
 I will be insane, if I do not cry
 I am hurt, choked up, suffocated
 I have to cry, please let me
