Sleep in the Dark

You can hear so much more in the dark.
Things you never hear in the light
Are screaming, deafening.
Everything is so much clearer
When you are enveloped by black
The triumphs, the failures.
Tears come naturally, easily
But you can't see them
It's easy to pretend that they're not there.
There is so much to do
And so little time
So I sleep
Knowing that tomorrow is full of promises I will never keep.
