When I was young
The tears i cried were childlike
It could have been after a fall
Or nothing really important at all
.
The next time I really cried
Was when I lost my first love
I never knew that kind of pain
Hoped I would never feel it again
.
The loss of my grandma
The loss of my mom
Fifteen years apart
Cancer stole them both from my heart
.
Sometimes the tears flow
From a song that hits
A movie or written word
Or from something else I heard
.
What brings me tears on the regular
Are from memories or thoughts
Of my kids, their joys, their pain
The thoughts of their past again and again
.
You can tell by my words
What I write is how I feel
All the tears I now cry
They are all so real, that is no lie.

NOTE: I'm an emotional floodgate lately. Not necessarily in a negative way. Just feels like everything I read or heal or dream of right now is flipping a switch and the tear ducts are opened up.
I hope you enjoy this. I promise I'm okay. I'm just all in my feels lately. It doesn't help that because of being dormant more than usual lately due to the school year being over and my recent bout with shingles has my mind racing a lot more.
