I'll Cry For You

Don't give up -
Just give me the tears
You can no longer cry,
And I promise -
I'll take it as a blessing
In the memory of your life

I promise that everyday
Tears will fall
While I think of you,
And they will be for you,
Not about you,
So that I know
Where you are now
Is a happier place

But if you try,
You won't be broken -
Let your tears
Be what seals the cracks
That have led you to this

Reveal, don't conceal
The emotion that strangles
The decision you yearn to make -
For then, and only then,
Shall you cry and show the world
You're strong enough
To show your pain
Instead of running away

But if that's your choice,
Simply remember me, and
Don't give up -
Just give me the tears
You can no longer cry,
And I promise -
I'll take it as a blessing
In the memory of your life
