Title: If I Cry
Writer: Julie
if I cry, will you hear me?
will you comfort me tonight?
If I cry, will you stay near me?
will you keep me from my fright?
I'm scared and completely lost inside,
frightened, don't know where to hide
please take my hand
please understand
that it's my own self that I fear
so please, please stay near...
can you hear my tears fall anymore?
I know you said you could before
but do you now? do you know
that I'm dying inside even though
I know you're here beside me,
ready and willing to guide me...
I have no right to shed a tear,
no right to cry or have a fear,
but sometimes I can't stop the pain
and so... what if I cry again?
