Close Your Eyes

I close my eyes

And I try

To shut out all the pain

You bring it back

But I’m not like that anymore

Please I’m dying

Your words are choking me

I am trying not to cry

I close my eyes

And try to hide

All the pain

What do you gain

By teasing me?

I close my eyes

Just let me try

I’m tired of hurting

I hear in my mind

All the things

I can’t seem to leave behind

It breaks my heart

I close my eyes

I’m tired of bleeding

But I won’t be pleading

To die

Just close your eyes

From all the pain

I promise you’ll live again

In the morning

Just close your eyes

Close your eyes
