I don't cry

Boys don't cry and neither do I. I saw that movie about love sickness, but instead of tears I choked on the word "love." I'd never seen "love" used that way. Caught in my throat, it kept me gasping for breath, gasping for you.

Crying

Onions make me cry for reasons you will never know.

Love me like cream and sugar

You are the cure for my blues. When I start to cry, I just pickup the phone and pretend I am talking to you. I don't hear your voice, but I can remember what it sounds like. Like a broken record, you tell me over and over that you "love me like cream and sugar."

Drunken words

Being a little drunk romanticizes your abusive words.

You're ugly when you smile.

I'm pretty when I cry? You always liked me better with drops on my cheeks.

I'll take what I can get, because there isn't much more.

Seaweed

Seaweed wet hair hangs in spaghetti clumps to my shoulders. They are raw, reminding me why your touch on my face makes me cry.
