Happy Tears
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
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...
Luna - Uncaged.
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...
You
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...
Flooded Vision
“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...
Crystal White Tear
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...
Tears And Tears
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....
The Boil, The Beast
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...
Tears
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....
Tearful Downpour
The pain we hold on for years , ends up falling into tears . The fears loses control now left with a streaming river from the soul .
A continuous flow of memories we keep with emotions leaping and thoughts creeping .
Tales of the hearts silent battles as guilt retreats and anxiety rattles .
Pain screaming throughout a hole deeply etched in our heart .
Where do we start to unravel ?
Find a w...
