Piece by piece

tears are the language of the heart
silent words that speak 
when nothing else can
they fall like rain
softly erasing the edges of pain
leaving behind a quiet space 
where healing begins
each drop carries a story
a moment too heavy 
for the soul to hold
they erase the bitterness of grief
transforming sorrow
into something quieter
something we can carry
piece by piece
and though they blur the world 
for a moment
they also clear a path
where the heart can start again
learning to breathe 
with a little less weight

  1. What a beautiful and thorough poetic description of sadness. And also at the same time, with that thread of liberation that the release of the emotions give to the heart! Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! 👏🙂❤️
