Rip

Cry into my eyes again
I want this love to begin
Doesn’t matter who will win
Wonder where you been…
Don’t care if I am in pain
As long as you heal again
I know I did you wrong
Life is a life of Ping-pong

Okay, yeah, I did you wrong
I weep myself to sleep
Okay, so? I wrote this song
I weep myself to sleep
Can’t deny I cried 
Something in me died
I weep myself to sleep
In midnights' slumber so deep…

Fly into my arm tonight
I need you to fight my fight
Doesn’t matter if I’m not free
As long as you are, you are to me
Don’t hold me accountable of my downfalls
Don’t heartlessly hang up our countless calls
Hear me out…just listen…
No doubt, I’ve done it again

Okay, yeah, I did you wrong
I weep myself to sleep
Okay, so? I wrote this song
I weep myself to sleep
Can’t deny I cried 
Something in me died
I weep myself to sleep
In midnights' slumber so deep…

I weep, weep, weep into the deep
I sleep, sleep, sleep before I make a leap
Towards your lane…
Your terrible pain…
Is mine to keep, mend and hold you safe inside…
Be brave and I will no longer have a need to hide
I don’t want to weep myself to sleep
I don’t want to act like a strange creep
Please don’t throw me into the ditch of left-behind
Please don’t start crying with me if you don’t mind

I know you hurt like I do…okay…
I weep myself to sleep
But, you can’t take it all away
I don’t make a peep
Take it all away…take it, I pray…
Guilt is beyond knee-deep
Take with you guilt and dismay

 Okay, yeah, I did you wrong
I weep myself to sleep
Okay, so? I wrote this song
I weep myself to sleep
Can’t deny I cried 
Something in me died
I weep myself to sleep
In midnights' slumber so deep…

So, I pray that you have sweet sleep…
In sunlight's arrival, I no longer weep…
You should do the same
Life is not always a videogame 

So, I expect you not to feel shame
Our sorrows left us with no one to blame
Leave it in that yesterday's heap of everlasting ashes
Accept tomorrow’s waves as they carress you with precious crashes
I know it relaxes and satisfies the ownership 
Of our harmonious happiness…now, now, RIP. 
In midnights' slumber so deep, so deep in pain's pit
Rest in peace and don't venture on doubt's trip
Go ahead and RIP and lift up your once-soullous spirit 
Get a grip and RIP...get a grip and take renewal's dip 

Oh, come on now...
Okay, yeah, I did you wrong
Rest in sweet sleep all along
Forget regret and show me your love aglow 
Cry into my eyes until they...simply...overflow 
Enlighten me somehow...
And you know?

Thank you for visiting my poems, JW. I liked your lyric RIP. Very easy and nicely flowing lyric. The lines "Okay, yeah, I did you wrong, I weep myself to sleep" are beautiful.
