The Tears Stop

The tears stop One day you just run out Your eyes go dry like the desert One day you drown in them Every other word breaks the floodgates. The next it's a dying river The tears stop Yet, you can see still the stains Never to be washed away Because you sit on the Edge A dam breaking at the seams But both sides are empty The tears stop But you aren't done crying You aren't nearly Okay You're just too broken You've already snapped. The tears stop Because the crackling seems like nothing It's nothing compared to the shatter The tears stop And your eyes are sore You can't forget they're there Your eyes feel the tears Never to come The tears stop For now They'll be back The day you break again The tears stop Today But it never ends Not until it all ends
