Sometimes, I Just Need a Good Cry
Sometimes,
I just need a good cry,
but can't seem to get
the words or the tears out.
Sometimes I look
like a blubbering mess,
and sometimes I appear
heartless.
I couldn't cry around my ex
(I had to remove her name from my vocabulary)
and I don't even remember when that started,
except that it happened years ago.
And I'd like to get on with things,
with life,
but tomorrow feels
like the deadest end.

As Rula says, I think we can
As Rula says, I think we can all relate to this. Heartfelt and touching.
I thought the 'deadest end' was a bit of a double meaning - as in dead end and final end, so I didn't have any trouble with it. Jx
