What makes you cry? <br />I pray it’s not always me <br />As you have convinced me many times <br />The real me <br />Would never try to hurt you <br /> <br />I know you are in pain <br />And probably hate me. <br />But you don’t hate me <br />As much as you miss me <br />Truth be known <br /> <br />I show more of a tendency <br />To abandon you to your locked closet <br />Of whore’s clothes and dildos…. <br />You are predictably stronger <br />Than most souls <br />I encounter in the deafening mist of empty dreams <br /> <br />What makes you cry, when I’m not to blame? <br /> <br />2009 © TS<br /><br />Ted Sheridan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-makes-you-cry/
