The stains are there
You can see them
They won't wash away
Crying tears in my pillow
In fragile array~
Tears soaked into the linen
Smothered by the night
Crying my tears into the pillow
That is unseen by light~
No sound can be heard
But the silence is loud
Crying tears in my pillow
A dark midnight rain cloud~
When sleep finally comes
In wee hours of the dark
My tears on the pillow
Have left their mark~
Yet peace won't appear
In eyes that have cried
Tears in a pillow
For a love i know thats died~

If pillows could talk! Sometimes I think my pillow case should be made of terry cloth. I did really like the line 'A dark midnight rain cloud'.

a very beautiful and emotive piece, well done

This is beautiful. I just love how you describe what your trying to get across. Your use of words are amazing and how you just put everything together. The pictures add a touch to them and give them more of an effect I guess. I bet my pillow has a million tear stains on them. Tears of joy, tears of lost loves, tears of pain, tears of a love that cannot be, just that kind of stuff
Really, this is a great poem. As are all of the other ones you have written. I'm like speechless..although it doesn't look like it 
Awesome job!

Tis a lovely piece, very comforting within the sadness.
We all seem to find comfort in our pillows and they keep the secrets of our tears hidden away in their memories so patient and lovingly.
I enjoyed the read, thank you muchly.

It is beautiful, as all your words are.

Oh, Susan, I'm sorry for your loss. Hugs.
Once the grieving is over you will feel the
love and peace once more. Love never dies.

Wonderfully penned, Susan....saturated with emotional content, but not to the point where it is overwhelming. This is so sad, though. I hope it doesn't hold personal meaning. Once again, fantastic write. You have a way with words.

the dust of the day away...

This was really touching Susan. It reminds me of all the times that I have cried myself to sleep.
Perfect Susan...and I love that picture.

Susan-
I really identified with this one. I sat down and cried for an hour last night- things are better by day, but at night, alone, and alone with my thoughts, it is a little bit tougher!!! I also love the picture that you provided for this piece - the whole thing comes together well and really is easy to identify with.
Hope whatever it is that has made you cry will get better!!! Would love to have you read some of my stuff- I am off to read some more of yours. Thanks!!! -
A tender emotional write.......
Susan,
This is a tender and emotional write hon......its penned well with feelings and hopefuly not reality.......but its really good dear.
You wrote this really well sweetie.......Hugs Susan xx,

Simplistic, yet so meaningful, a read that doesn't involve too much thought... but upon deeper contemplation, reveals more than meets the eye- Intitially... -Zaotik

we all feel this way..when a loved ones has died..Great write!
-
On a rainy night such as this one, I feel the tears premate from the basis of this piece you have written and I, too, weep. But tomorrow? That is another day..
-

No sound can be heard
But the silence is loud

This was a great write...It flowed very well and was a quick read with a great meaning. I loved the last stanza, especially. I could entirely relate to the meaning of this piece. Great job.
