It would have tasted like salt

And looked like your soul

Pouring out clear and painful



You tried not to sob too loud

But pillows are only so thick

And so am I



You prayed that night for an end

It sounds better if I say new beginning

It never really came



You made your own way out

Dry-eyed since that day we met

How I wish you could cry again

The author's comments:
All my life I've known people who try to be so strong on their own, even when things are killing them inside. This is basically the words I wish I could say to them.
