I cry because you love me and I am afraid to love you back
I cry because I know that there are a lot of things that I lack
Because I've severed bonds that I hold so dear
I cry because there is an end that I do not fear
I cry because I need to take a stand
I cry because I quiet my inner man
I cry because Corinne Bailey Rae healed me a little when I wasn't trying to be
I cry because when I run into the darkness for refuge there is a love that I still can see
Because excepting responsibility is always present and demanding
I cry because with you I don't know my current standing
I cry because it is the only way I know to lift the weight
I cry because all the beauty inside me is trying to escape
I know that I spiral down into the abymaloldsoullove when I close my eyes
But I cry because I stand behind myself whispering lies
I cry because I allow myself to
I cry because I keep myself from loving you

Nique, you touched me deeply with this ond. My fave line "I cry because it is the only way I know to lift the weight". Amazing how crying, though sometimes sorrowful, can ease the pain (weight) for a while.
An intensely touching piece. Keep on writing man, you've got something special in your heart and mind.
Wow, I can't get past the "I'm afraid to love you back" part. That is really honest. I wish everybody could be that way.
Beautiful words, first timer here on your page and i'm loving it. I'll be coming back for more...keep it up!!
^^^ I agree with Ironmunki.
