Self-Pity
Monday, March 19, 2007
Tonight
I had wished to cry myself to sleep
I felt wonderfully sad
So I thought why not tear my sleep
How brilliantly foolish I was
To think ’twas easy to shed tears before sleep
I had to toil languidly
Hoping to have my desire satisfied at sleep
But my successful failure
Questioned the degree of my woe prior to my sleep
Self-pity I’m not
Now I’ll be tragically delirious to get some sleep
Tonight
I had wished to cry myself to sleep
