“TEARS IN THE NIGHT”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
I go to sleep with a smile, but when I open my eyes,
my pillow always seems to be wet,
and I hear these deep sighs…
Sometimes I wonder, about how all of this could be,
I get up and look in the mirror,
not sure at what I see…

For staring back at me, are two eyes the color of red,
I’m very puzzled by this, for they were blue,
when I went to bed…
I returned to that lonely place, it once belonged to us,
and I wish that you were still there next to me,
without all of the fuss…

But I wonder about why my eyes changed, they even hurt,
possibly it’s from rubbing them too much,
maybe I picked up a little dirt…
Then again I’m not sure, it could be from the moon so bright,
but I wonder if perhaps, it’s from all of those…..,
“Tears In The Night”…

Powerfully poignant...you speak your heart so well! You are surely a tender, compassionate man.

Heres' to brighter days Bill, and I do believe you are not alone in this feeling of pain as many have been there too. Keep writing it out, and this was very poignant.

BC,

I have to agree we've all been there before. Never easy, but one night the tears will stop. Hang in there.
