The Devil's Love-Ridden Abuse II POETRY Second Edition

014

I think it's the nights
where you cry so much
you just feel numb
or just to the point
where you cry yourself to sleep
or even just the nights
where everything's too much to handle
so you feel everything yet nothing
that makes a person
who they are

some say that
if you don't cry
you are weak
and if you're one of those
and you finally cry
over one person
who you would give the world
give your soul if it meant that
then every single tear
is a piece of your soul
that you gave them
almost like a funeral for that piece
and its an unknowing and silent gift
for the ability to cry
because of them

but some cry too much
and over everything
no matter how small
but does that make their tears worthless?
if the tears that are most rare
are the most valuable
then what are the constant ones?

I guess I'll never understand that
because I never saw my rare tears
as valuable or strong
but rather a weakness
a vulnerable sight of me

if those tears were my last remnants
of the part of my soul that I gave you

then I guess I gave it to you
in abundance
more than I knew then
but alas I gave it away

guess you could say
I sold my soul to the Devil
but if I could go back
I don't think I'd change that part
even if I could
I don't even know
when those parts became yours
