Clarity

Tears blur your vision,
Making it hard to see,
Emphasizing the confusion,
And the pain that caused them.

You blink and try to clear your eyes,
But more and more just flow,
Streaming down your cheeks,
Leaving a salty trail on your face.

The pain swallows you whole,
Seeping into each crack of your
Heart. Your breathing turns to gasps,
Until you can’t hear anything else.

So slow down, hit pause,
Pull over if you have to.
Let them fall until there’s
Nothing left, ‘til you’re dry.

Then blink.
And find your clarity.
