Decorated Pillow

Tears fall down my face
Captured by the pillow case
That lies beside your head
While I'm next to you in bed
Floods of all your empty words
Nearly drown me and it hurts
To pour my soul out right now
But to stop I don't know how
You sleep so sweet and peaceful
Although you have been so deceitful
Still I wish you'd wake to hold me
And subconsciously detect I'm lonely
Apart my heart bursts
And I make my own artwork
But your brain doesn't even think
To you it's just invisible ink
As I keep bleeding through the fabric
This mess is getting drastic
A pillow soaked in untold pain
With an irremovable hurt stain
A nightly cycle now it seems
Yet you're as happy as can be
In the morning I'm still neglected
I feel so damn disconnected
I tried to tell you what was wrong
So don't ask me why it took so long
You wouldn't listen when I spoke
And never noticed each time I broke
If you ever gave the time it took
To stop and take a second look
Then maybe you would truly know
All that hides inside my pillow
