With Closed Eyes

-By Jimmy L.

Were I lay to sleep is never home

I awaken in a dream to never want to sleep

Twisted nightmares go flat

but never make me runaway

yet still I turn and look back

such a waste of time...

your words flow as if they were mine

repeating simple sentences

and still I fake this smile

to me, to you

This day ends, my door shuts

My eyes rain like the sky in an April storm

and these thought I over think blindly
stay stuck and unexposed

I drown and sink under them

And still my eyes are closed
