tears .

At night as I lay my head
In my face another tear is shed
This usually puts me to sleep
And it’s a bad habit to keep.
But crying takes some of the burden away,
It keeps me balanced for the next day.

I would often recall my memories,
It was like being in the greatest of all dreams
No! Stop I say in my mind
Please just leave it all behind.
I try and I try to
But holding on makes it harder to do
Giving up hope is the only way
And another tear leaves my eyes away

The things I cry about are very simple
Much, much simpler than a red apple
But then again things are complex in their own way
And I never thought happiness could betray.

I keep telling myself that this is only a nightmare
That in the morning it would all be over
But even I can’t fool myself
I know this is life
Most days, it’s like being stabbed by a knife.

Parts of me are already missing
I could no longer dance or sing
Memories again keep flashing in my head
I try to pretend
But no, I still can’t
It was like only yesterday, I was happy, content
But now I’m sad beyond the end

Now my face is absolutely drowning
Of tears that I’ll always regret
And things I’ll never forget.
Oh! How I miss my old me
But that is gone, missing it may be

No matter the night is almost over
And there is another day to suffer
Keeping this up I might be insane
But tomorrow night another tear will be shed again.
