Closing My Eyes From Reality

by Toni   Apr 18, 2005


I’m closing my eyes and hoping so much, that they will never open
But lulled instead to a peaceful sleep, away from the world where I’m broken

And this dreaming seems to come so easy; I close my eyes and its there
A midnight sky, filled with stars, where I float upon the air

Sweeping across the moonlit night, away from reality
Off into the sparkling distance, to a place just made for me

Blinking tears as I awake, to see the mist filled room
The room is blurry, it speaks to me; I sit alone in my tomb

Stone walls appear and block the light, my eyes now fade to grey
Resting in the shade, just waiting, for dreams to take me away

And then the cold truth appears to me: I’m trapped by walls of stone
Forever drowning in my tears, forever suffering alone

Tears start falling upon my cheeks, my mouth opens and I’m screaming
Mouthing words that nobody hears, in this reality away from my dreaming

But nobody sees my desperate calls, and nobody comes to my aid
Shaking so hard I fear I will break, my body is cold, I’m afraid…

I’m closing my eyes and hoping so much, that they will never open
But lulled instead to a peaceful sleep, away from the world where I’m broken..

Mm thank you for reading..x
