Weep Some More, Milady

Was that a lone tear making its way down her aging cheek
    Had she let herself cry for those long decades
      she'd pent it all up deep inside her

  The dam burst forever, an ocean of tears 
     Why? Why now? How come?

  Could it be she was secretly proud of
    that number seared into her arm

  For she'd had children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren
    She'd won the battles, she'd won the war

  Please weep some more milady
    Weep until the whole world weeps with thee
