Vanish

Close your eyes,

Turn off the lights,

Pull up the covers,

Don't look till morning.

That's when I'll be gone, 

But you shall not notice,

I'll have disappeared,

You just shrug it off.

If I were dead,

You'd thnk I'm playing games,

When you hear the news,

You laugh and ask where I am.

You care not for me,

If I do not appear,

I'll hide in the closet,

Not coming out till dark.

I tell you now that I am here,

I always have and always will,

But to you I was always gone,

To you I will just . . . Vanish
