Sitting at the back of the parking lot

I watch headlights pass

No one knows I’m dying

I had a revelation

So clear I stopped breathing

My life will be cut short

It’s only a matter of time

It’s not cancer, you see

But cancer of the soul

I’m broken

What is happiness?

I don’t know her

I’ve been fighting half my life,

And I’m tired

So, so tired

How long can I hold on,

Before the sweet embrace of d...

Your mom visits every morning,

at the same time, like clockwork.

Maybe it’s convenience—

the graveyard just so happens

to be ten minutes from her house,

five minutes from the grocery store.

Or maybe, she just wants to talk to you.

She never brings flowers;

she can’t stand the idea of replacing them.

So she brings only herself,

and her tears.

Oh, how she cries at your grave.

If someone did the math...

slowly a fog descends over the view

like a mist spreading over the morning dew

then the sky goes black as it cries and screams

and the crystal spheres stream

the sky was upset about something down below

something no one will ever know

yet through its tears grows a clarity that despite the pain

earth will live to make the sky cry

once again...

Through a watery smile,

Asks me if I can stay for a while.

There is no time to stop and rest my feet

When life is a game of hide and seek.

My mind’s eye is caked in debris.

You may find my dignity living amongst the trees.

Despite the tears over the years,

And weathering many storms alone,

Love is still nothing to fear.

And if you’ve found the one you can’t live without,

I wish for lifelong happ...

I cannot help to cry

In times of joy

In times of sorrow

In times of pain

But mostly I cry from exhaustion

When the day has been too much

When the words just cut too deep

I cant stop the tears from falling

The tears reminde me I’m alive...

Isn’t it crazy,

The people we least expect to come along,

Turn out to be the most important?

Isn’t it crazy,

How feelings of fear and doubt can be silenced,

And only by one person?

Isn’t it crazy,

How time can move so quickly or so slow

When you’re with or away from them?

Isn’t it crazy,

How they go from just “someone” to your everything in minutes?

Isn’t it crazy,

How time just flies whil...

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...
