Why I cry in my bed

Why do I lay in bed and sob

There's nothing to cry about

I tell myself not to cry

Yet the tears roll in streams

Down my cheek and too my bed

Making me wish I knew why

Why I cry in my bed

I see my mother in the dark

Her eyes so lifeless to me

She says she loves me

But it's halfhearted love

The kind of love for pity

You feel bad that they hurt

Yet you don't really care

I get this love everywhere

I still have friends

But I wonder why

I cry inside my bed

The only comfort I can get

A bed will hug and nurture

Like a mother who cares

I feel safe inside my bed

Safe enough to cry

In my bed there are feelings

Hate and love

But mostly hate

Hate for the things I do

The bed knows none of this

Uses nothing against you

It has no feeling

Therefore it can love

Why do I cry in my bed?

It is the only place I feel loved
