Last Night

Last night I cried myself to sleep,
          Drowning myself in self-pity.

This morning I painted a smile on my face,
Hoping to cover any existence of
          The tears from last night.

This afternoon I saw you, with someone else,
And suddenly I forgot how to breathe.
          I felt like I just might fade away.

Tonight I cried myself to sleep again,
Trying to hold on to whatever I could
          To keep myself from drowning.
