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

End of the World

They say it's not the end of the world 
You know what they mean
The world isn't going to implode 
It's not the 3rd apocalypse
People will keep on leaving
Their day to day lives
The earth still spins

They say it's not the end of the world
But they don't know your head
They don't know what you’re thinking
Yeah it's not the end of the world
But that meant the world

They say it's not the end of the world 
But you can’t move on
You can't keep going 
Yeah it's not the end of The world
But it's the end of Your world

Slowed

Time has slowed
Not because it’s meant to 
But because 
You think a million things a second

Time has slowed
Not because it wants to 
But because
Pain is fast but last a lifetime

Time has slowed
Not because you’re focused
But because
Everything is happening at once

Time has slowed
Not because it's tranquil
But because
Your senses have drowned

Time has slowed
Because this is it
Time has slowed 
Because time is up.

Still

Life has come to a standstill
A fork in the road with a piercing stop sign
So you don't pass
You don't move on
You stay still

Frozen
Like fear has consumed you
Like you’re chained down
Like you can’t move
Because they told you to
Because you don't know anything else
Because you learned 
You’re useless
You’ll f*** it up again
You’re the reason why

So you stay still
Petrified
Like a deer in headlight
Like a rat caught by the tail
Like a fish on a hook
Because it its lot late now
Because you can't escape
Because you’re wasting breathe 
Your hope is gone
You see the end
You’ve lost 

So you stay still
Anchored 
Like a tree to the ground 
Like a shipwreck on the ocean floor 
Like an iron bolt forced into concrete
Because you're rooted down
Because you're decaying
Because you don’t have a choice
You never really did though
You could never have helped 
You were lied to 

You stay still
Because it's what you've always done 
Because it causes the damage
Because it's your new tactic

You stay quiet
Not a peep

Still and quiet
Like you don't exist 
Because not existing is the best you can do
Because you stay  out of the way now
Because you hope they don't notice you

You stay still
You stay quiet 
You stay out of the f***ing way

Gone

Gone 
Deleted 
Nothing but a blank page
Everything
That was everything
And now 
…
It's gone

Everything is gone
Plucked one by one
Straight from your hands
Now… 
It's gone

That was everything
It meant everything
It's gone
And you can't do anything about it

Say Nothing

What would they say to me 
If they knew it was me
If they found out

What would you say 
If you knew the truth 
If you knew it was me

If they could get in my head
If they could see me
What would they say


Nothing


Bc they second they find out
Is the second it disappears

Every last word with it 

Like a sinking ship 
Taking down the debris

They will say nothing 
You say nothing
Because this means nothing
Because there is nothing.
