Goodnight Midnight Tears

Goodnight midnight tears,
so kind through all the years.
Though cold inside, some warmth resides
Within these liquid fears.
Safe within these walls,
my pillows catch them all.
So I may sleep tonight within,
these tears that always fall.
Within each one a tale,
Our secrets there unveiled.
Just drown out the voice inside,
Only it knows that you failed.
You can hide the scars and pain,
but the memories remain.
No mater what the change in life,
The end results the same.
So goodnight midnight tears,
my friend through all these years.
And when I wake a lake will take my life
and all those years.
those painful pesky years.
of tears.
