CRYING IS JUST A HOBBY OF MINE
Don't be alarmed when you see my tears.
You might find me this way any time.
I've been practicing now for several years.
Crying's just a hobby of mine.
It doesn't matter if I started
Right after her goodbye.
It's not as if I'm broken hearted,
You see, I really like to cry.
Some folks say I should turn pro;
Why do all that for free?
Someday I might, but, I don't know.
For now, I only cry for me.
In time I'll give it up-I hope.
And if she came back, that would be just fine.
And if they ask about tears of pain, I'll say, Nope.
Crying's just a hobby of mine.

Teardrops
although a little salty
they sometimes fall with care
a deep and careful beauty
this thing we call a tear
it's like
I am crying tears of ice,
cold and clammy
against a glistening cheek.
I am frigid in my pride,
And I have lost something
by Timothy Cox
If you don't cry for me
I'll never learn to trust you
Never know how to make you see
I just want you to cry for me
Just cry
