where our eyes are never closing.

He didn't dare to close his eyes.

He would force
himself to stay awake.

He couldn't close them.

All he would see was
his nightmare.

He saw her back
walking towards the door,
glancing back at the house,
before taking a deep breath
and leave.

He wondered,
was that how the scene played out
when she left without saying
a goodbye.

He didn't want to drift off
to sleep so early.
He didn't want to see her
leave.
Leave the house and
leaving his side.
He never knew that one day
she would be gone.

But she did.

As he tried so hard to resist,
his body couldn't help
but to let his eyelids droop down
and shut them tight.

Here's to another night,
dreaming about her being by
his side when he wakes up.
