CRYING TO LOVE SONGS (2026)

Before you
Love songs
Were just an art form,
Now they leave my heart torn
Make my heart mourn

The words are so real
Resonate with me,
Speak to the loss I feel
Make an ache in me,
They feel like they can kill
Like they drive a stake in me,
It almost seems real
The places they’re taking me.

Before you
Nothing made me cry
Now words from a song
Bring tears to my eyes

Make me venture
Out into the rain
To hide my pain
My sense of shame

Can’t let others see
My heart’s broken up
Let the rain drown out the sounds
Of me choking up

As I wander without aim
Going to and fro
Suffering alone in pain
Can’t let nobody know

If my friends saw me
They’d call me soft
Make a joke of me
Try to make me laugh it off

But I could never
Take this loss light
Jokes about you and me
Would likely make me fight

So here I am
Sitting all alone
Not leaving home
Lost in a zone

Not even pretending
To be strong
Feeling like I’m dying
Just crying to these love songs
