Cried To Sleep, by Zanna Subscribe to rss feed for Zanna

To everyone who has ever cried themselves to sleep over
Love.

I made a list
Of songs that make
Me think of you
Until I shake
With tears that fall
And will not stop
Because you got
Me to the top
The height of sad-
ness, fear of Love
Self hatred fitt-
ing like a glove

I play these songs
And go to bed
With thoughts of you
Around my head
I feel the tears
Let them fall out
And cry in silence
Too scared to shout
My family's in
What if they hear?
They do not know
What I hide here

I will not tell
They will not see
The mess this whole 
Thing's made of me
So face in pillow
To hide the sound
Because the fear
I might be found
My special list
Of songs still plays
Fixes my mind
Into a daze

I'll never Love
Again, like this
My Love for you
Is all that fits
I'll always Love
You, even though
You ignore it
Refuse to know
I hope you re-
alise that I
Will wait for you
Until I die

u know i've read this before im sure. Or maybe it just sounds recognisable. I must say though it is beautiful poetry, I love it. It kind of reminds me of something but i wasnt in love with a person. It was a fatherly daughter love which was rejected. Luv Kirsty
