Sad Sleep

Have you ever cried yourself to sleep?
Unable to hold back the tears you keep,
Letting them trickle down your face,
They come to an end as they soak into the pillowcase,
The pain grows in this darkness causing more tears,
Even worse when you have to wait and see if the crowd of memories clears,
Without even knowing it everything becomes calm and black,
Waking up in the morning you find the depressing feelings are back
