I Cry For Two

I cry for two, for you and for me
I will let you feel , I will let them see
Don’t be judged on the tears you are unable to shed
There’s plenty of judgment, alone, in your head

I cry for two, for you and for me
I will let you hurt, You will let me be
Surround yourself with my blanket of hope
Shame is not doing what you need to cope

I cry for two, for you and for me
I will let you heal, They’ll pretend not to see
Your emotions are safe, worn here on my sleeve
I will call them my own for as long as you grieve 

I cry for two, for you and for me
Until I cry alone
Until they see me
