Every night I cried myself to sleep

tears on my pillow

all the nights I cried over my broken heart

trying to get over you

believing the tears would help me

put together my broken heart

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


addicted to the feeling

of the water going down my face

the race they did to get to my mouth

the salt taste every time

one of them made it

but they didn’t

they didn't help seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


but then I got tired

of crying every day

of feeling that I wasn’t enough

enough for someone

even for myself

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


when I got to the bottom

made myself rise again

learned how to swim

so I could live

live for something else

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


but the feeling didn’t

go away, even though

I was getting better

putting my puzzle together

it still wasn’t enough

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


then, I just stopped

caring for you

blocked you out of my mind

buried all the memories

killed all the dreams

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


eventually the tears

stopped, day by day,

I thought I was getting better

I could live without you

but I still doubted

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


I lived for some time

until I realized

I was not happy

I was not put together

I was just existing

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


so the tears came back

but, now, I was crying for myself

for all that I was living

and didn’t feel alive

I was trying though

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


I didn’t feel

the blood in my veins

or the air in my nostrils

but trying to count

at least for something

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


and it did count

I realized I could actually

make it work

not for us, but for me

I could live for myself

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


so I did it, I took a step

for myself, not to get

better for us or even you

but better for myself

for my mental health

but they didn’t

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


so, the tears stopped

and this time for good

I didn’t drown again

and every day

I took another step

for a better life

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


and I was happy

I was living

I could feel the air in my face

and everything I was

fighting for made sense again

for a better life

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


and one day,

I started thinking about you,

remembered the good times

at first, it hurt, but then,

I learned to handle the pain

for a better life

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


and one day,

I was writing again

writing the memories

that now we like

treasures to me

for a better life

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


and one day,

I was dreaming again

I gave life, not only

to myself, but to them

I dig them up

for a better life

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days


and now, I’m living

I didn’t think

the tears would help

but they did a lot for me

they help me be free again

for a better life

they helped seize the pain

they helped me go through the days
