Can you please close your eyes?
I want to kiss your eyelids
I want to taste the nightmares hiding under
I want to swim in the roaring ocean beneath
I want to feel the pain when the waves
crash against your beautiful mind
Perhaps your wounds will accept me
and let me gently touch them
Perhaps my touch will give them some relief
They won’t heal easily but they will learn
to heal with me by their side
Can you please close your eyes?
I have already fallen in love with them
Now, I want to see the other side
I know, they think it’s not pretty
I know, they are nervous about this breach
I know, they think they are losing control
Why don’t you let them loose?
Why don’t you let the ocean overflow out of them?
Why don’t you let me share their pain?
I know, I am not perfect
But I promise, I won’t swept away by their nightmares
I promise, I won’t die fighting their demons
Please close your eyes with me inside them.
Please close your eyes and let me love you from inside.
I write sometimes because I like the feel of a pen in my fingers and gentle sound a keyboard makes when I type the sadness on it.
