I cry.. because I’m sad

I cry.. because I’m hurt

I cry.. because I’m angry

I cry.. because I’m frustrated

I cry.. because I’m overwhelmed

I cry.. because I want to scream

I cry.. because I keep thinking of all the things I should have said or done

I cry.. because no one likes the silly videos I watch like you did

I cry.. because I won’t hear “give me cucas”

I cry.. because I won’t hear you call me my love or my darling

I cry.. because I’m scared your memories and voice will fade from my mind

I cry.. because I won’t get to hug you anymore

I cry.. because I won’t get to tell you I love you to your face

I cry.. because you left your brothers and sisters

I cry.. because uncle doesn’t have his twin

I cry.. because mom doesn’t have her partner in crime

I cry.. because you left your best buddy

I cry.. because you left me

I cry.. because you’re gone

I cry..
