Holding Back The River

A poem about holding back tears of emotion

I’m not a man Easily moved to tears Now understand I want to make it clear Oh there’s nothing wrong with me It’s just that I can’t see Why I should open up for you

Please understand You’re not the only one I’ve been around They’ve come and they have gone Yes I’ve been this way before And I’ve been hurt so much more You will never know what I’ve been through

You say I’ve got no heart You know that that’s just not true It’s tearing me apart Inside, I am crying over you, Crying over you

That’s how I am And I don’t think that’s strange Say what you like But I will never change Oh there’s nothing wrong with me It’s just that I can’t see Why I should cry a tear for you

Holding back the river Holding back the sea Holding back the ocean Deep inside of me
