Close Your Eyes
By: SheridanCraneFitzgerald@hotmail.com

Close your eyes for a moment.
Reflect on moments past.
The dreams undone, the sorrow gone;
Will this vision last?
Will darkness permeate the room,
And agonizing howls
Shriek a never-ending tune,
Leaving your dreams stale?

Close your eyes for a moment.
Is your dream still the same?
Or has it changed since the last time?
Can you still keep it tame?
Was light replaced by dark,
And good replaced by bad?
Do you still see yourself happy,
Or are you dreaming that you're sad?

How long can you handle it?
How long will you go on dreaming?
Do you think that, years from now,
You'll still keep believing?
Dreams can bring tranquility,
Even though they're lies...
Hush, my love, keep dreaming.
Simply close your eyes.
