Don't Tell Me

Don’t tell me not to be sad.
You don’t know what it’s like.
You were everything to me,
And I lost you.

I lost everything.

Don’t tell me not to be sad,
When you are sitting right in front of me.
How can I not be sad,
When what I can’t have is right in front of me?

I try to hold back the tears,
Like I try holding back my love for you,
Thinking it will make things better.
But it doesn’t…
So don’t tell me not to be sad.
