i don't want to
close my eyes just yet
for it's during those times when
i try to close them but
the shadows creep in
clawing at my skin

as the seconds pass by
with me wondering why
my eyes colored
like the night sky
while the air wraps
its arms around me
its breeze cold
like the one at sea

sometimes i ask them
if they're dead yet
because i badly
want to sleep
with the sounds on my head
off for repeat



let me breathe
