I Cried

I cried because I feel
I cried a broken man
I cried because it felt real
I cried just to know I can.

I cried a tear for others
I cried for those I do not know
I cried for my past lovers
For what we have loved we never truly let go.

I cried a tear for shame
I cried for fear I’m a sham
I cried for I could no longer contain
I cried the fool I am.
