About the Poem

This poem speaks volumes for the hurt of a lost love.

I'm Too Big To Cry

by J. J.

I never stopped to realize
How lonely I would be
I never thought the day would come
When you'd grow tired of me

Your voice was never sweeter
Than the day you said goodbye
You'll never know how much it hurt
Because I'm too big to cry

If I knew then what I know now
You'd still be kissing me
Instead there's someone else's lips
Where mine used to be

I say hello and wish you well
Each time I pass you by
But you'll never know how much it hurt
Because I'm too big to cry

You never looked so wonderful
As the day you walked away
I used to say, "I love you"
But that I could not say

I can't forget you darlin'
No matter how much I try
You'll never know how much it hurt
Because I'm too big to cry

It was amazing!

Tammy

This poem is oh so true, and beautifully written. Funny how we cannot cry in front of the person that hurt us most.

Sam

Wonderful poem . its funny how society has come to recognize tears as a show of weakness. Is there a better way to vent your sorrow than with a flood of tears ? Many a time, we try in vain to swallow our troubles, wishing we were children once more, when we could so easily pour our heart out in tears.

ELISKA

THIS IS THE BOMB EVEN THOUGH I CRY ALL THE TIME I CAN SEE IT FROM A BOY'S POINT OF VIEW ALL THE TIME

Ashley
