Tears roll down my face
without a push,
without a blink.
They roll with purpose,
each one filled with their own story.
They drop to my pillow as I lay on my side,
eyes wide.
The whites of my eyes get redder
as my heart sinks deeper.
My brain is drowning in thoughts and emotions without a paddle to stay afloat.
My eyes are trying to clear the sea,
one tear at a time.
