Oh the secret sorrows of those who dare not sleep <br />Reliving all their sorrows in dark of night <br />Over truths unspoken, oh how they weep <br />As the deep dark overtakes their sight <br /> <br />Oh the secret sorrows of those who dare not sleep <br />Every night how they relive those ancient pains <br />Into the heart of darkness, delving ever deep <br />Feeling every wound, again, and again <br /> <br />Oh the secret sorrows of those who dare not sleep <br />For in dreams the pain lives on, and on <br />Whispering in the dark so private, of the secrets they keep <br />Hidden from revealing light of breaking dawn <br /> <br />Oh the secret sorrows of those who dare not sleep <br />Oh the secret sorrows and ancient scars <br />Oh the endless dreamers in the dark so deep <br />Whose secrets are kept by moon and stars<br /><br />Tim Vallie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-secret-sorrows-of-those-who-do-not-sleep/
