cry for me

she never like to see her daughter cry
it would make her cry too

you go in there, talk to her
she would say to another daughter

i remember once
crying at my father
and running upstairs to my bedroom
i was laying on my bed in the dark

my sister tried to come in
i told her to leave me alone

then my mother knocked
and i couldn’t tell her to go away

she came in, sat on the bed
started crying
you see, i always turn into a mess

but it was nice
to see you cry
for me
