Tears

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

I close my eyes and I see us

I hear our laughs

I see our smiles

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

I feel your hands around me when I cry

I hear our conversations

I see your attraction

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

Because I did or said something that made you not want to be around me the tears I cry stain my cheeks because you aren’t attracted to me anymore

The tears I cry stain my cheeks when I close my eyes and remember

Your words are on a constant loop the broken record in my heart and mind

The pain that never goes away

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

The tears I cry stain my cheeks because I loved you and never said it to you

The words you said and the words I wanna say don’t match

“I love you” “I’m leaving you”

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

The tears I cry stain my cheeks because we moved to fast but it felt good it felt as if I was stuck in time when I was around you the tears I cry came from a unstable love a broken down relationship

the tears I cry stain my cheeks

The tears I cry stain my cheeks after I let my anger speak for me the words I spoke came from a broken soul trying to break a soul the tears I cry stain my cheeks because I wanted to get back instead of get right

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

The tears I cry stain my cheeks when I...

Text you

Call you “leave a message after the beep”

“Im calling for the heart that once adored me”

Call back please

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

The tears I cry stain my cheeks because I didn’t listen I spoke

I was your judge, jury, and executioner

I never let you explain

I want answers as fast as I ask the questions

“When”

“Where”

“Why”

“How”

No answer

The tears I cry stain my cheeks because you need time to heal after I made a bad situation worse

I called angry “FUCK YOU”

I called crying “I MISS YOU”

I called drunk “I CANT REPLACE YOU”

The tears I cry stain my cheeks because I tried to find my way back to a home that isn’t mine and have never been mine

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

it’s our fault I cry these tears in hopes of answers I cry these tears in hopes of a cleanse I cry these tears for you

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

The tears I cry stain my cheeks because I know we could never be together again we hurt each other and we can forgive but can’t forget

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

The tears I cry stain my cheeks

The tears I use to cry stained my cheeks
