Crying Dry

Life is testing our love today
But my heart stays strong anyway
Buttin' heads, opposite sides
Not giving up, not saying good-bye
It ain't worth draggin' out a fight
It's best to let the day past by
So we can work it out later tonight
We'll get a-long just fine

Some days are really hard for me to get through
Theres no tellin' what goes on from dawn ?til dusk
We share a hug and a grieving smile
We go through the motions
Crying dry, crying dry, crying dry

We were playing around, having some fun
You left too soon, our bucket list ain't done
Best friends, partners in crime
Not letting go, friends for life
I'm checkin' into places by myself
I miss you more than anyone else
You'll be there, watching over me
As I stumble along on my two left feet

Some days are really hard for me to get through
There?s no tellin' what goes on from dawn ?til dusk
We share a hug and a grieving smile
We go through the motions
Crying dry, crying dry, crying dry

Our farewell party was bittersweet
We made a lot of good memories
Neighbors in the cul-de-sac
Not ready to go, everything's packed
Last stop is filling up our truck
Sometimes life takes us out of touch
Moving to a new place is fun and scary
It's the next chapter in my story

Crying dry, crying dry, crying dry
Crying dry, crying dry, crying dry

I know this feeling well. Of wanting to be with someone and yet can't do anything about it. People think love is just about a man and a woman, but real love lies between friends, of being there for them if they want you even if they are far apart. Reading this made me realize my situation which is ditto. Great reading. I like the flow of emotions here ☺

When I reached the end of your sad but beautifully written poem I realised my thoughts were more than likely correct, you meant your words to be lyrics.. and what great lyrics they are. Would be grand if you could compose or have someone compose some music for you. Such emotions, felt by so many, but not the 'many' can write like you.

I have written the music for this. It will be available on iTunes and Spotify this summer.

Ahhhhh then I must explore and here you and your lyrics over the coming weekend. Thanks for letting me know.

Just realised you'd said 'this coming Summer' - will still look in. :)

Incredibly relatable, I love the honest voice here it's simply saying how it is. I think that makes your expression more personal to me. Effortless lyrical qualities to your writing style. Cheers Starz

No goodbye is good.

We made a lot of good memories"
The goodbyes make us want more hellos. Thank you Sarah for sharing the excellent poetry.
