I crazy glued my eyes shut ...again

By freudian-slip

It's here again.

Another new day
of faces and places

None of which remind me of you

I'm up again

Ready to meet a future

the empty picture frame
of what's to come

all of which
won't have you in it

I wait to close my swollen eyes

if only to
sleep

think

sneeze

daydream

cry

In between
I find my hesitant gift of vision

I imagine you here

Each memory
more serene
than what my open eyes
might never again
see

Only without sight

can I forever keep the beauty that is you

of us

Twisted skin wrapped in snapshots of we





I am going to crazy glue my eyes shut.
