A silent language of salt and sorrow,

I yearn for brighter tomorrows.

They say it gets better in time,

But I’ve lost count of the days since I’ve seen the sun shine.

Pieces of me pressed into each drop;

I cried and I begged,

“Oh God, Please make it stop.”

Long overdue, this act of atonement—

Tears falling into an ocean of forgotten moments.

My tears telling truths of voices I fear,

I found m...

I am a glass of water filled to the brim

With blue water

Not empty within

Once looked at for sustenance

Now waiting for you

To pour me into your heart

Shaped by your thoughts and memories

Held by your soul

I am tears

And I am no longer cold

Trembling like ripples

Beneath the surface

My love for you is powerful

You deserve all of its worthiness...

Tears

I hate it when you drop tears

You telling me about last year

I don’t wanna say I don’t care about the past but I don’t

But I who am I to talk

All my best songs have someone from my past involved

I’m throwing shade with a little bit of salt

Yeah I know you’re right I’m wrong

Everything’s all my fault right?

Our relationship is on the fault line

This is where we stop talking right

Now...

Daddy, daddy. People say all the time, “I get it, I get it.” But until they have lost their father or a parent they don’t understand the pain it brings along with it.

The loss is so empty, oh so hollow, I miss you you so bad it hurts. But daddy I understand, I really do. To set me free you had to be set free also.

It sucks, it really hurts pa, I am so sorry I really am. But I just know. I know...

There only one person you can rely on

There’s only one person who is always with you

Always being patient with you

Through all of those hard ships

Hard times

Heart breaks

Doubting yourself

Through out all of those long nights

Crying your little heart away

One thing has stayed

And that was you

So

Be a little kinder to yourself

It will get easier

And it will get better

Because you have y...

“I hate you!” They yell without thinking first

“Your awful!” They scream and they let out a curse

It’s fine, life goes on, nothing to be seen

Unless the receiver’s emotion runs free

If anguish fights containment and the former does win

And salt water burns from their eyes to their chin

Now strangely you begin to regret what you’ve done

And nothing will fix it until it’s _un_done

It boggles the m...

A single tear can kill a man

Or send them to life in the can

In days of old, it got them whipped

Hidden smirks as their skin ripped

What power lies in those tears!

Oh, how an encounter fills my fears.

Tears which can take all one holds dear

Tears which inflict pain on those near

Those tears have stripped those of childhood

Turned children to adults where they stood

Those tears have exclud...

With tears in my eyes,

And face looking pale,

With tears in my clothes,

I tear down the trail.

By a sniff and a snarl,

I was torn from my dreaming,

And my terrified scream,

Tore through the evening.

Now these tears skew my view,

As I tear along blindly.

Just a teary-eyed fool,

With a bear close behind me....

Are you okay?

They ask

I’m sorry, it’ll get better!

They say

Yes, I answer

Of course

I reply

But it’s a lie

No, I’m not okay

No, not today

**There’s a pot**

**In my mind**

**Filling with emotions **

**None will ever find**

And when that pot

Begins to boil

It’s only calmed at night

For when the eyes close

The world seems quiet

Like the monster can never bite

Yet when you wake

The emotions boi...

A tear fell before I was ready

How could something so small feel so heavy?

It’s cataclysmic.

Tears won’t listen…all discretion melts away

They beg to be felt.

They plead to be heard.

Show mercy — they’re carrying the weight of the world.

They lighten the pain.

They soften the hurt.

But lest this deceive you — they’ll rattle your earth....
