Do not cry because it's over; Use a smile the tears to cover. Why am I told I must not Weep in sadness nor in pain? Why am I told I'm to tout A grimace my truth to feign? Do not cry because it's over; Add a smile the tears to cover. From friends to lovers we dove As tepid feelings grew warmer. Time to cool sensations that rose And to return to the former. I'll not cry because it's over; I've a smile my tears to cover. My heart wants not to believe What we've shared now comes to an end. With heaviness I do breathe As my feelings I must amend. I'll not cry because it's over; I will smile my tears a cover. Shall I be able to lie About the depths of love I feel? Shall I ever be denied The desire my truth to reveal? I shall cry because it's over; But a smile my tears shall cover. ©2007 Ruth Cox All poetry & writings, photos, graphics & midis are copyrighted. Please respect my wishes that they not be used...
