I think I Forgot How to Cry

"I Think I Forgot How to Cry"

I think I forgot how to cry

Water running down my cheeks' sides

I think I forgot how to cry

I remember it was revealing my tender side

I think I forgot how to cry

Involving connection to something greater

I think I forgot how to cry

Like the moment I found my savior

I think I forgot how to cry

When feeling pain and hurt

I think I forgot how to cry

When my face is in the dirt

I think I forgot how to cry

Over what I allowed in myself to die

I think I forgot how to cry

Falling short of values on high

I think I forgot how to cry

When wishes go unmet

I think I forgot how to cry

When something is wrong I can't detect

I think I forgot how to cry

When love was first put to the test

I think I forgot how to cry

And when it was laid to rest

I think I forgot how to cry

The love that could never be

I think I forgot how to cry

And how it hurts to remind me

I think I forgot how to cry

When saying your final goodbye

I think I forgot how to cry

Saying "I'm okay" knowing its a lie

I think I forgot how to cry

From feeling pain inside

I think I forgot how to cry

Accepting failure after I tried

I think I forgot how to cry

From life's precious moments

I think I forgot how to cry

When speechless with condolence

I think I forgot how to cry

When innocent people die

I think I forgot how to cry

When victims of injustice decry

I think I forgot how to cry

At the sad human condition

I think I forgot how to cry

When I forget my purpose and vision

I think I forgot how to cry

Having lost my sense of pride

I think I forgot how to cry

Searching for something special inside

I think I forgot how to cry

When reminiscing the better days

I think I forgot how to cry

When accounting before Judgment Day

I think I forgot how to cry

When convening with the Divine

I think I forgot how to cry

I'm demeaning with time

I think I forgot how to cry

When brooding over past misdeeds

I think I forgot how to cry

When I can no longer weep

I think I forgot how to cry

Water running down my cheeks' sides

I think I forgot how to cry

I wonder why? ::sigh::
