If I close my eyes I won't have to see <br />Just what life has made of me <br />Its so hard to stand here all alone <br />To find the strength on my own <br />If I close my eyes sleep will come <br />And I'll no longer think of all I haven't done <br />Maybe I'll dream of long ago <br />Shadows in my mind I've never let go <br />But when I close my eyes I see your face <br />And there's no where to hide from the pain <br />It grows inside <br />Tears don't help so I've found <br />Time won't stop the rain falling down <br />Inside me <br />Maybe if I close my eyes <br />They'll never open again <br />And maybe <br />I cab find peace from within....<br /><br />sammie kelley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-i-close-my-eyes-2/
