Crying Myself to Sleep

I'm an expert at

sobbing silently

in bed next to you.

 

Being alone in the dark

with my feelings

is so suffocating.

 

I struggle to breathe

and hope you don't hear 

my stifled whimpers.

 

But you have no idea.

You stir in your slumber 

and notice nothing. 

 

Crying myself to sleep

is starting to get old;

it's devastating me.
