I hope you cry

1/30/10

 

I wish you would cry

Break

Release

Breathe

And find your smile

I have to be honest and say

I don’t recognize you anymore

What was once bright

Light

Sunny

Inspiring

Soft

Sweet

kind

Is melting slowly

Into something

Unrecognizable

And hard

I can’t say Black

Cause Black is Beautiful

You are beautiful

That deep down

Constant swirling core of you

Is beautiful

I know one day

You will dig through the muck

Face the strong tower of your pain

And knock it over

Instead of blinding yourself

To the hurt that is  

Making you heavy

While you strive to be weightless

Pouring yourself out

Into any receptacle with an open hole

I hurt for you

Crying tears you cannot cry

Wanting to be held

Because I know you need it too

You are special

And worth so much more

Than you are allowing yourself to see

I pray your eyes will open

And I have faith that one day they will

And they will release the teardrops

That make your face so heavy today

I miss your smile

And I pray one day

You will cry
