Clear the Sea

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.
