What a welcome retreat from the cruelty of day With a sigh I close my weary eyes and the darkness takes my pain away. In the dark where I am beautiful and there's no one here to judge And no harsh glare of unmeant words burning at my lifeless skin In the dark where no one is around to hear my anguished cries And feeling pour out like the endless stream of tears from my stinging eyes. My body is weak and my brain is so tired from the pitiless torture of every f*cking day. The monotonous torture of another god damn day. Now another has passed and the heartache drains down to soak in the pillow along with the tears. And as the billionth salty droplet rolls down my pale wet face I drift off to sleep and another day's erased. Peaceful slumber swallows me and my clenched fists ease the trembling softens and at last the tears cease. Numb, Comforting, Tranquil, Sleep. Here in the dark. Where I am beautiful.
Reason for writing:
Sometimes at the end of the day you just have to let it all out. release whatever pain or anger you've been holding in all day and just cry like hell.
