Heart of Tears

It doesn't seem to stop,
It can't stop.
Everyday, a salty taste is left
In my throat, in my stinging eyes
My aching heart.
There's no room for anything else
Anything more than tears.
It's overwhelming
Overflowing
Filling me up.

There's no stopping
No halting the flow
It will just keep pouring
This grief I wish I didn't know
Has encompassed all of my heart now
It's moving on, moving past
Nothing now can last
I'm all full of tears
Sobbing where nobody can hear.

My heart made of tears
Is overflowing now.
It's moving through my body
Till I can't move, I'm so full of sadness.
Nothing can shake me of my depression
I've become someone made of nothing
But tears.

This salty taste won't leave
It can't, I have to believe
That all I am now is tears
That all I have left are fears.
Fearful of a new beginning
Fearful of the future I'm facing
Fearful that someone will find out
The secret that I can't figure out.

I'm drowning in my sorrows
Don't want to face tomorrow
Yet I must, for I live
Though I feel not alive.
One day I'll have the revelation
That I'm not made of tears and desperation.
But not today.
Not for a while.
For I am to grieve, just a little longer.
I wish to cry, just a little longer.
Till my face is dry
Till my heart is no longer made of water.

Till I'm not made of tears any longer.
