How do you sleep at night?
How do you feel alright?
I took the blame
So don't feel any shame
You made a mark
Though my words are dark
So how do you sleep at night?
My life is gone
My soul won't morn
This pain haunts my soul
I feel like I falling to my doom
Deeper and deeper down the hole
The torment is a curse
Pretty soon I'll be in a hearse
So how do you sleep at night?
I fear death is to come
But my body is numb
So I'll just die
Buried and I'll lie
I will leave you a mark
Hidden in dark
So how do you sleep at night?
I will go away from here
Saying goodbye, I will not fear
My time is done
I bet you feel you've won
So be on your way
I say goodbye
for this is the day
But how do you sleep at night?

I don't really know what to say, it's a well written poem but as i said to the last person who rhymed- i think it makes you hold back because you're trying to make it rhyme. I'm not against rhyme- but to be seriously raw and emotional, sometimes you just have to ignore what you think makes a good poem.
thanks for entering.
keep writing.
