Please Tell Me Why

Every time you look at me,
And every time you see my eyes,
You can only cry.

Please tell me why.

Hoping you will love me,
I smile just for you.
Hoping you will cry no more,
I try my utter best.

You watch me with pained eyes,
Your hands over your heart,
And you can only cry.

Please tell me why.

The days we come to talk,
My ears cannot hear you.
As my eyes are only drawn,
To the swelling around yours.

Almost every night it seems to be,
Your sobs carry through the walls,
While you can only cry.

Please,
Tell me why.
