Tears at Night
Some nights it takes tears for me to fall asleep,
It’s the only way my dreams and I can meet.
The troubles of the day are trapped in my head,
As I cry softly while lying in my bed.
Who knew something so terrible could feel so good,
That’s one thing I never understood.
I say that because as the tears flow down my face,
I start to get overcome with peace and grace.
My tears flow down gently tickling my nose,
My eyes grow tired, and my thoughts pack up and away it goes.
I get temporary relief as my tears roll down,
And as I lay there, I start to look around.
I see a picture on the wall of the love of my life,
I smile through my tears, and fall asleep for the night.
