Crying Myself to Sleep

And I will cry myself to sleep
For the last time
For God awaits me in the morning
As the sun crawls upon the sky
And I will shine just as he
Leaving the drowning tears behind me
They’re replaced by the rain drops
That drop slowly and wonderfully
As if a gift from above
They’re crowded and lonely
Just as once, my fate
And darkness begins to fade
So I must sleep now
With tears in my eyes
And I will watch the dark turn to light
In both the sky and my life
Asleep, and dreaming of peace
This will be the last
Of crying myself to sleep

Author's Note

I actually wrote this when I was literally crying myself to sleep. It's probably, in my opinion, the best poem I've written so far.
