Still Crying Soft - Aliza
No one hears it
But it's there
I learned how to smile
When they ask about you
How to change the subject
Like I always do
But when the room goes quiet
And the lights turn low
That's when the truth
Starts to show
I thought I was healing
Thought I was strong
But some nights
Feel too long
I'm still crying soft
When no one sees
Tears falling gently
Past my knees
No loud collapse
No dramatic loss
Just a quiet heart
Still crying soft
Your name doesn't shake me
Like it once did
But it still lingers
Under my ribs
I don't break down daily
Like before
But sometimes I still
Miss you more
It's not the daylight
That makes me weak
It's when the silence
Starts to speak
I'm still crying soft
Late at night
Holding on to
A phone light
Might say I've moved on
But that's half full
Sun healing soul
Still crying soft
Maybe one day the ache will fade
Maybe love will be remade
Until that dawn feels less lost
I'll sit with the dark and count the cost
No one knows the tears I fought
Just me alone
Still crying soft
