Still

Still

I still cry

Not every night like before

But the tears still come

They still interrupt my

Being- okay

I still cry

Not for hours or days like before

But my eyes still swell

I drop my head into my hands

And sob and shake my head

In disbelief that

I still cry

Not that I thought it would stop hurting like before

But I thought it would lessen at the least

Instead it may hurt more

Because it’s been hurting for so long

Be still

I still

Cry
