I can’t cry not because I don’t know how.

It’s just that I don’t know why.

Why cry if I know I shouldn’t be.

For I don’t have the right

To love

To get hurt

& to be loved

I can’t cry not because I don’t want to.

It’s just that it won’t fall.

For it had been frozen since.

And been denied before

Like dreams after awakening

Like life after dreaming

Like hopes after promising

Like promises after lying

I can’t cry not because I was not hurt.

It’s just that the tears kept inside.

For I can masked the pain with smile

Agony with laughter

Sadness with love

And for the warmth you felt.

Emptiness and coldness inside me

Seared; fueled; crept.

I can’t cry not because I can’t love.

It’s just that they don’t appreciate me.

For I loved selflessly

The way it should be.

And then to be left unloved.

Was never new to me!

I can’t cry not because it’s the right thing to do.

It’s just that reasons offer no more.

For they don’t know as they always do

That I have to break my heart

A million times

To master the pain –

Not to cry.

And to look just be fine.
