Tears of relief

Tears of relief leave my eyes.

I've never cried about us,

about everything we never were.

I've never really teared my eyes for you,

but it feels like all this time

I've been only hurting myself

without even knowing.

Tears of relief leave my eyes

because I'm finally setting free

this feeling I didn't know it was with me.

I was all these things,

and you made me feel like I wasn't enough.

I've been harsh on myself

because you made me feel I was not good,

and I was good enough.

I'm crying tears of relief

because now I can see what I made myself go through,

tears of fear,

of emptiness,

of loneliness,

tears of relief,

because I've finally realized

it was not me

it was you

and everything you made me go through.
