I once dreamt
My tears scorched the Earth,
Turning everything and everyone to ashes

When I awoke,
I was afraid to shed a single tear

I didn’t cry when I lost my favourite teddy
I didn’t cry when my best friend moved away
I didn’t cry when my father left us
I didn’t cry when grandparents died
Or when my mother was taken away

How is it, Why is it,
That you can make me cry every single night,
No matter how hard I try to hold in the tears?

How is it that you have torn me apart?
Everything inside me,
Made weak and defenceless

How is it that I didn’t cry when
They all left me

But I can’t stop now that you have

How is it that you’ve left me feeling so alone now,
When nothing else could phase me?

I once dreamt
Of losing everyone I loved…
the theme of this one is

they are afraid to cry becasue of a nightmare they had when they were little
they were afraid to cry, to let anyone in, trust anyone with their pain.
and then someone somehow breaks through that, and when that person leaves them, it has left them much weaker than before becasue their defece is gone. and now, they cant stop crying because theyve finally realized all the people theyve lost and how much it hurts to hold it all in..
