"lie" asleep? If you mean it to be present tense, that is.
Lovely Postsecret and definitely what I was looking for. Short and heavy with guilt and emotion and a lot of images come to my mind from these few words. I like how you've formatted this and I adore how you've structured the sentences. It's an up-and-down of emotion.
Thanks for entering Character PostSecrets and good luck.

It raises many a question as well...
Good job! ^_^
