tears in a jar 🏺

If I showed you my teardrops,

Would you collect them like rain,

That are labelled with “Pain”,

Would you follow their tracks,

Would you stop them with kisses,

Bring their flow to a halt,

We’re never alone.

Store them in jars,

From my eyes down my cheeks,

As they write all the stories,

I’m too scared to speak,

As you teach me that pain,

It isn’t always my fault.

Would you hold my face gently,

Dry both my eyes,

And whisper, “You’re too precious to cry”

If I showed you my teardrops?

Would you show me your own,

And learn though we’re lonely,
