The tears I feel today I’ll wait to shed tomorrow. Though I’ll not sleep this night Nor find surcease from sorrow. My eyes must keep their sight: I dare not be tear-blinded. I must be free to talk Not choked with grief, clear-minded. My mouth cannot betray The anguish that I know. Yes, I’ll keep my tears till later: But my grief will never go. —Anne McCaffrey, Dragonsinger
So sad
