The Man Who Cannot Cry

Maybe it all started a long time ago,
A boy with dreams, easy come, easy go,
Emotions are weakness, and we also don't lie,
And so was born, the man who cannot cry.

He had a dog, who was his own to keep,
One day the vet came and put her to sleep,
Old age and injuries, caused the little dog to die,
Another day, for the man who cannot cry.

Relatives have passed, including his own mum,
An outsider would think, what a horrible son,
The day of her funeral, his tear ducts were dry,
A very sad occasion, for the man who cannot cry.

Sadness of miscarriage has riddled his wife,
Accused of no emotion, his vows now in strife,
Go see a doctor, how do you get by,
A professional seen, for the man who cannot cry.

He does feel emotions, he does feel the pain,
But to breakdown in public, what's the point, what's the gain?
Now on anti depressants, a way to get high,
It’s so hard being, the man who cannot cry.
