Crying Deep In the Dark of the Night

Crying deep in the dark of the night Only a single tear piercing the skin A gentle kindness to never-ending plight The bitter screaming, I try as I might To drown out the memories with a soft grin Crying deep in the dark of the night Desolate thoughts, the blurry images, deluding my sight Learning to cope with unbearable sin A gentle kindness to never-ending plight Peaceful quiet, no yelling or sounds of fight I wipe the tears from sleepy eyes, holding up high my chin Crying deep in the dark of the night Sitting alone, wrapped in blankets real tight Blinded eyes burning from unseen pins A gentle kindness to never-ending plight There you are, with weeping orbs of hidden light And here I stand, with a single shudder, determined to win Crying deep in the dark of the night A gentle kindness to never-ending plight
