Crying Crystals

Yes, I see you
crying on the floor, your old brown dress stained with fire
I can't help thinking that crying will only hurt you more

In my experience 
crying doesn't heal me. 
It only gives me memories 
so that I can remember what it felt like to hurt 
when I'm not hurting. 

But in a way, I get that you need to cry 
you need to let your pain run it's course... 
I don't understand why, but I get it.
I always get it. 

So cry your tears, let them wash away the pain 
let them show you who to blame. 
this vulnerability is valuable

so, yeah, you're crying crystals.
