Night or day <br />I dream of you <br />Dream of spending time with you too <br />Dream we decided to fall in love and that you'd always stay <br />Sometimes it makes me want to sleep all the time <br />What's the point of being awake <br />When during my dreams is when I'm happy <br />Because during my dreams you're here with me <br />I'll try to sleep for your sake <br />We've had the best times together these past three weeks <br />Even though I haven't seen you in awhile <br />Every night I go to sleep with a smile <br /> <br />But every morning, every time I wake up <br />I feel the depression, someone take this cup <br />Because every time I open my eyes I'm still alone <br />No matter how sweet the dream, it ends <br />No matter how much love my heart sends <br />The dreams they end and when I open my eyes I'm empty <br />When I open my eyes I'm still alone, I'm still me.... just me <br />I almost don't want to dream for fear of harsh reality <br />I know it's selfish of me <br />To want to dream all day and then not because it hurts my feelings <br />I wish I could just tape up my heart with sealings <br />And not let anyone is because all I dream of is true love <br />And all I can think when I wake up is: I'm completely alone <br />I'm unloved <br />I can't write poetry, and I can't rhyme <br />I have no skill, and I have no true love <br />EVERY SINGLE TIME MY EYES ARE OPEN! <br />I'm just alone even when I close my eyes to cry, the second they open tears <br />Come again, because I'm still alone... <br />It's gotten to the point where I can barely cry I've drowned in my emotion <br />I almost wish for death again, anything to end this loneliness <br />Why do I seek love so ardently when I have nothing left to give of me... <br />Maybe that's why when I open my eyes I may be a young boy <br />But I feel like <br />'An old man, filled with regrets, waiting to die alone.'<br /><br />David Knox<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/every-time-i-open-my-eyes-2/
