Crying In Silence

by PunkyThespian - Libra

I feel so trapped 
Within the depths of my melancholy, 
Drowning in this sea of misery 
Days pass, one to another 
And still the pain endures 
As the end finally draws near 

The smile I wear, 
Hauntingly covers what is my reality 
A plethora of inadequacies mires 
What confidence I am able to summon, 
Each night I lye awake 
Staring into a void, 
Seeing and feeling nothing, 
Sometimes hopeing..no.. praying.
That there will be no tomorrow 

Yet, to spite me, 
I wake each morning 
Realizing and reliving this pain 
Inside my tortured soul, 
Crying in silence, 
My tears fall inside of me, 
While on the outside, all that they see 
Is a faux cover, 
A smile 

When will it ever happen, 
That the nights I fear so 
Will be replaced by the sweetest of dreams, 
The nothing I feel, traded 
For happiness, 
Its not much I ask 
Its not much I need, 
Love me, please?
 And rescue this 
Helpless girl for her night 
Is ending
