Don't You Cry Tonight

I've realized that I have lost the ability to cry. Yesterday, I wanted to cry. I felt like I might cry. But as soon as the stinging sensation hit my eyes and nose, it was gone. I'm not exactly sure what that means. I wonder if it's possible to be all cried out. If this is the case, I might finally be back to my pre-law school days when even movies like My Sister's Keeper couldn't compel me to shed a tear. I miss that dry-eyed robot of yesteryear that existed before law school beat me down and taught me that nothing - not even teaching 100 students at a time in one semester - prepares you for this nightmare.

Don't you cry tonight
I still love you baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had...baby
