because you dare not cry
I'll cry for you,
tears I don’t want to own,
yours, but from my eyes

because it is your own
heartbreak I don’t want to heal
yet somehow I must, because
yours burns beside mine

because there is too much
of love I can never alter
and love I long to change,
woven to a wry fabric,

that cloth I’ll wear for you
with ash and joy, no sorrow,
but I’ll hate them both for you
because you dare not cry

To pick a favorite line from this would almost be a desecration... for the power and poignancy build with each word... and the whole is too beautiful and loving to strip to its elements. *S*

However... were I to do such a thing... *S* ... "woven to a wry fabric" is a phrase that will long stay with me. *S*

To hurt for someone else... to even cry their tears... this touches deeply! Beautiful work! *S*

To cry for a friend takes a very empathetic heart and much love. This person is lucky to have you in there life, I think!

JAF...

Just a few days ago I mentioned,
somewhere,
about the inability
to cry...

when I first saw your title

and today being just an average day,
I hesitated until I could get home
and take a private moment in case
I couldn't dare not to
anymore...

Sir Poet...

although you did not write this for me?
You did, indeed,
write this for those who
dare not cry.

Thank you.
