The door is closed

At 7,
  the night is growing old.

Go to sleep.

No need to pretend I am not watching.

At least you have not caught me!

Taking the effort,
  give you your dignity.

Another ramble,
  and when the door closes,
     I can finally cry.

this is so sad...like someone who is losing a loved one to cancer---and will peak in to the room, but not want the loved one to see him cry.
And eventually that door will stay closed.

This was tough. Thank you for the the kind words, Jacob.
