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
