i wake up with dried tears on the side of my face i went to sleep smiling, i thought i dreamt of you, as i remember but i woke up with dried tears on the side of my face perhaps my eyes see something that my brain has not yet processed they see your eyes trail off when I'm enthused about my day they see the way your body is always slightly turned away my brain gushes about the sweet text you sent last week and the future that could lie ahead but my eyes are the realists and don't ignore what my brain blocks they notice the other girls listed in your inbox and my eyes know that they've seen this all before and the visions in my head don't align with what you have in store so my brain might be behind and take some time understand that these tears i wake up with are not a deformity of my lacrimal gland instead they are trying to fill me in on what i am trying to ignore and all these poems i waste on you i will soon learn to deplore i don't want to wake up with dried tears on my face anymore.

dried tears
i wake up with dried tears on the side of my face i went to sleep smiling, i thought i dreamt of you, as i remember but i woke up with dried tears on the side of my face perhaps my eyes see something that my brain has not yet processed they see your eyes trail off when I'm enthused about my day they see the way your body is always slightly turned away my brain gushes about the sweet text you sent last week and the future that could lie ahead but my eyes are the realists and don't ignore what my brain blocks they notice the other girls listed in your inbox and my eyes know that they've seen this all before and the visions in my head don't align with what you have in store so my brain might be behind and take some time understand that these tears i wake up with are not a deformity of my lacrimal gland instead they are trying to fill me in on what i am trying to ignore and all these poems i waste on you i will soon learn to deplore i don't want to wake up with dried tears on my face anymore.
