Poems

When I Open my Eyes

Wrapped in your arms

I snuggle into you

But it's hard to believe

I shouldn't believe in you

I don't open my eyes yet

Because I know you'll disappear

I know you aren't on this earth

But it feels like you're right here

You were here in the battles

When I cut past the bone

But you never existed

I was always alone

Please don't leave me

When I open my eyes

I know you weren't truly here

But being alone is a surprise

How can someone who feels so real

Be a story in my head

Because you were never alive,

Will I see you when I'm dead?

So I sit here I a blanket

Pretending that it's you

My heart believes the story

But my brain screams it's not true
