PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I cry myself to sleep again tonight
Inside, deep down, I know that you are right
I wish I could take all this sorrow
And build you a better tomorrow

I cut into my flesh pressing hard
Inside, deep down, I am permanently scarred
I wish I could take all this anger
And protect you from all danger

I burden my soul with endless hate
Inside, deep down, it has always been too late
I wish I could take all the hollow
And make a path you can follow

But I cry myself to sleep at night
Inside, deep down, there is nothing but spite
I wish I could take all this sorrow
And build us a better tomorrow
