Why Do My Tears Not Freeze
Are tears just like salt water
Why Do My Tears Not Freeze
Outside the world is cold and hard
the wind cuts sharp against the skin
ice forms on windowpanes and roads
but still my tears run warm and slow
I watch them fall and wonder why
when all around is frozen stiff
my pain won’t harden into stone
my heart won’t lock away the hurt
The frost can’t reach inside my bones
where sadness sits and won’t let go
no winter chill can stop the flood
that comes without a warning sound
Maybe tears are meant to flow
to wash the weight of grief away
to soften cracks inside the soul
so healing can begin again
So while the cold stays out my door
my tears still fall and clear the pain
No matter frost or winter’s grip
my tears won’t freeze or hide inside
they flow to keep me whole and real
to carry what I cannot hide
