I cried when my grandma died
because I was surprised and because she never bought me ice cream.
My mom cried from relief of the turmoil
and misremembered memories.

I was surprised that Mo never bought me ice cream
because she promised she would.
But misremembered memories
are all that I have, so I don't really care.

Because she said he would
I didn't cry when my grandpa died.
Forced connections are all that I have, so I don't really care
But for him, my mom sobbed while in the movie theater.

I didn't cry when my grandpa died.
I just watched my relatives fall apart
and I have only ever sobbed in the movie theater
For the end of Harry Potter

I pretended to cry when my grandma died
because I saw my relatives fall apart.
My mom cried from relief of the turmoil
but I have only ever sobbed for the end of Harry Potter.
