Tears Are Words

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 3 months ago 2 min read

Verse 1

In the silence of the night, I hear your heart call,

Whispers of emotions that you can’t recall.

Each drop on the pillow tells a story untold,

A book that’s waiting for the brave and the bold.

Pre-Chorus

So let them fall, let them flow like a stream,

Each tear is a message, a lost, broken dream.

Put pen to the paper, let your heart guide the way,

For in every tear droplet, there’s a truth you can say.

Chorus

Tears are merely words that need to be written,

A language of the soul, where the heart is smitten.

So pour out the feelings that you hold inside,

Let the ink dance upon the page, let the pain subside.

Verse 2

In the depths of the night, when the shadows creep,

The sorrow that lingers makes it hard to sleep.

But in every aching heartbeat, there’s a strength to be found,

In the mess of the chaos, let the healing sound.

Pre-Chorus

So pick up your pen, let the truth set you free,

Each tear that you shed is a key to the sea.

Drown the doubts in words; let the story unwind,

For in every tear born, there’s a solace to find.

Chorus

Tears are merely words that need to be written,

A language of the soul, where the heart is smitten.

So pour out the feelings that you hold inside,

Let the ink dance upon the page, let the pain subside.

Bridge

With every stroke of the pen, you’ll rewrite the pain,

Transforming the heartache into something you gain.

So let your soul spill, your truth be unfurled,

For every tear falling is a gift to the world.

Verse 3

Now the pages are glowing with the stories you’ve shared,

The beauty in your struggle, the way you have dared.

So when the tears fall, don’t shy away in fright,

Embrace the emotions; let them dance in the light.

Chorus

Tears are merely words that need to be written,

A language of the soul, where the heart is smitten.

So pour out the feelings that you hold inside,

Let the ink dance upon the page, let the pain subside.

Outro

So cry if you need to, then let your heart sing,

For the tears are just words, and your spirit will take wing.

Embrace every moment, let your truth soar high,

With every tear falling, you’re learning to fly.
