Topic: Cries for You
Again I have to say thanks for the inspiration to get back to songwriting.
This song I started ages ago...forgot about it...remembered it today...today finished it.
In my life I have known a number of good friends that have committed suicide so I wrote this song hoping that if it ever got published it would make somebody think twice ,because "suicide is a long term solution to a short term problem"
