MAY 19TH

everytime I close my eyes

I'm surrounded by a nightmare

 

my eyes get so heavy

and my heart pounds in my chest

 

my eyes burn like fire

as a tear slides down my cheek

and a chill races up my spine

 

no sense in trying to deny it

no sense trying to stop it

no sense trying to hide it

 

all this pain and misery

is written clearly on my face

haunting, dreamless sleep every slumber

 

I may never understand

why everytime I close my eyes

I feel like I'm dying
