Comment from Bill Schott
This two-stanza poem, Crying Myself to Sleep, stresses the old adage that we should never go to bed angry. These words tell that story well.

Well done in this two stanza poem. It illustrates why we should never "let the sun go down in our anger." It's always best to reconcile and heal with apologies instead of going to bed and mourning the pain-causing words.

Haven't we all been there :-(
Good poem, nice rhymes and true-to-life story. The artwork is appropriate as it depicts emotional confusion.
I think it is a good entry for the contest. All the best!

Comment from Thomas Bowling
I told a friend I had a big argument with my wife. She could never see things my way. He said, "It only takes one person to be disagreeable, but it takes two jerks to fight."
I've never forgotten his advice.

Comment from Dean Kuch
I once asked my Grandma Cook what the secret was to having such an enduring, long-lasting relationship and still manage to love one another. My Grandpa and she had been married sixty-two-years at that time.
She said, "It's really simple, Dean--when in an argument, walk away before you say something you might regret later.
And never go to bed angry at each other."
I wish now I had listened.

It is a great sadness when we are unable to resolve interpersonal issues before the end of the day. A poem that must surely resonate with many. I hope that the issues are now resolved, making happier times possible.

Thank you so much for your rating and your comments. Yes, this poem was written some time ago. I am no longer in that relationship. We are now best friends.
