I Don't Want to Close My Eyes

I wish that I could figure out why

I can't go to sleep at night

I'm tired that's for sure

But it never seems to be enough for me

To close my eyes and end what I saw

The beauty that I take in

These moments that were made

Certain instances that I can never get back

All of these things I don't want to end

I know that tomorrow is a new day

But what if something happens

Nothing in this world is guaranteed

And when you miss that split second

Who knows what might change

When the time in our pseudo reality

Ceases to become something we know

Unable to comprehend this world

When we no longer understand it

I can't face myself knowing

That I left out something important

And missed the best chance of my life

For not waiting a moment longer

Because I chose to close my eyes

For something so trivial in this world
