Cry

I cry and cry
I keep wondering why
But I can't even put the words together to say
How I really feel inside. 
What sucks the most
Is when my daughter See's
The tears that flow
Down her mother's cheeks
When her little words squeak
"Are you sad mommy?"
All I can do is say "yes dear"
She so young to know
Only 3 years old
But then she breaks me when she ask
"Daddy?!"
All I can do is cry and cry
And I have to lie and lie
All I can say "no baby"
Because I don't want her to know
Her mother is dying inside
I don't want my daughter growing weak
Because her mother weeps
For the only man in the world
That broke her so deep.
