Little Lights


I know your heart is breaking now
For things I didn’t do
But in good time you’ll come to see
That you’ll know what to do

The glassy tears your eyes have shed
Are lenses for the world
They’ll help you see in clearer light
The things you’ve always heard

Tears turn lights into diadems
Of sparkling starlit hues
And like a fractal, break the night
Into a million views

They’ve always said that tears will blur
And make you see awry
But you’ll see the softer edge of things
Without having to try

Yes, hearts will often make a mess
And tears drip from their sides
But the wetness on your cheeks will dry
And you’ll see that it’s alright
