Last night I cried to sleep.
It's been a long time since so.
The feeling was out of body.
A complete decompress.
Everything was pressing and nothing was releasing.
Like a child pinching it's finger.
I cried so much.
She didn't hear me.
Yet she laid there,
Next to me.
Sleeping in peace.
While I prayed for the fix of a shattered heart.
The pain in my heart was a crime scene.
My heart was found everywhere around me.
So many pieces to piece.
On the wall,
The floor,
Ceiling,
And car.
It was obvious that I was dreaming.
A nightmarish dream.
Reality is dried cheeks,
Sleep in clouds,
Living another night captive.
Peace stolen in my dreams.

Beautiful and sad. I’ve cried in bed next to my husband many times and it always feels far lonelier than if I’d been crying alone. So close yet so far.

Hi Bridgette, it is definitely a moment of despair. It very tough because while there you feel alone. Though the tears are our comfort.
