How can you sleep?

How can you sleep
when your heart feels broke
and you are filled with pain
and hurt, the tears just flow

* Love the question at the beginning. I often wonder how do people sleep with so much pain in their heart, as I can't sleep when I'm hurting. I'd change "broke" to "broken" and "flow" to "flowing" it still rhymes it's just on a slanted rhythm.*

You sit
and lay
in the night
Nothing but silence
and your mind

*This verse was a little confusing to understand but after reading it a few times I got what you were saying. Maybe reword it to read like this

You sit
and lie
in the night,
nothing but silence
on your mind.

Something like that so it flows better and make i a little easier for the reader to understand.*

No one see's
the side that is hurt
to scared to let anyone in

*You don't need the apostrophe in "sees" and the second "to" in the last line should be "too" *

It's been that way
since she was left alone
to defend her self
no one ever really liked her

*That part was sad :( *

How can she still be
sweet and kind?

How can you sleep
with so much on your mind?

You'll just lie
in darkness and silence
tormented
by life

*Like the ending. It makes me wonder more about this girl and what she's been through. Very emotional piece just a few mechanics to look out for. Nice work. -Nik*

So sad, filled with emotions and helplessness..questions that i belive we've all asked to ourselves.

however I believe..no matter how long the night might be, the dawn will break.
there might come someone..who'd force himself/herself into this unsecured heart and heal it!

loved it..well done
