The pillow story
Did I try enough?
Was I upright or rough?
Hurtful, guilt, or proud?
Knows only one -
The pillow down my head.

The whispers of my bravery,
The screams of my recovery
The sorrows that I swallow,
Knows only one -
The pillow down my head.

Haunting shadows of the past,
The echoes that stayed last,
still swedging to be free.
Knows only one -
The pillow down my head.

The longing in solitude
For a supposed pal to rescue;
Or just a circle to get into?
Knows only one -
The pillow down my head.

Consumed by loneliness,
Choked with dilemma and distress,
The stories that are suppressed,
Knows only one -
The pillow down my head.

A possible damnation
of my emotional fluctuations;
The thoughts that are dead,
Knows only one -
The pillow down my head.

My wet weeping willow
recurs every night from zero,
Unaware of its worth, but
Knows only one -
The pillow down my head.
