Broken Space

Under the stars

I've cried myself to sleep
Stifling the wails
That try to escape
From within me

I've cried myself to sleep
Hiding under the covers
Planning, waiting
To see if there's a god
That would reach out to me
And pull my pain away

I've cried many times over
Under the stars in the black night
Feeling like I'm slowly
Leaving pieces behind

I've cried many times
I've had many stained cheeks
Many red-blotted eyes
And I've gasped for breath
More than a hundred times

I've cried
And I can't seem to stop
The torment and storm
Raging inside

Even when the tears have stopped
I still tremble, my body shaking
The only movement
To show I'm still alive

When everything has stopped
I still cry
Though is no longer visible, now
