She Only Cries On Tuesdays
She only cries on Tuesdays
It is a rule that she made for herself
One month after a very terrible day
It is a secret rule
That nobody knows
She decided
That too many tears
Would be a selfish indulgence
And lead to self pity
And that they would make her weak
But she also feared
That not enough tears
Would make her cold
And she thought that both
Too few and too many
Might make her crazy
For some people
In pain
Not being crazy
Is much harder than you think
So because she didn't want
To be weak or cold or crazy
She only cries on Tuesdays
