We're All Mad Here

Hugs

You were sitting there crying,

so I sat by you,

wiped your tears away

and gave you a hug.

Now I'm crying, alone

sitting here

No one to wipe my tears away,

and no one to

give me a hug.

I tried to make you feel less alone,

but I was the lonely one.

I wanted to tell you,

but you had your own problems.

Is it selfish

for me to want a hug?

Is it wrong that I

want a break from

wiping your tears away,

and let you look at mine?

Because even some strangers

know my tears,

and care.

But you,

my friend?

You have your own tears to shed,

but please

after I've given you

another hug,

and wiped away

another tear.

Please,

Please!

Give me a hug,

let me shed a tear.
