In the night time's darkness <br />my eyelids will not close. <br />Is this how they shall find me <br />in death's unfriendly pose? <br />Is it not better to leave this life <br />with eyelids closed up tight? <br />For then and only then, my love <br />will you be gone from my sight. <br /> <br />In the night time's darkness <br />my eyes stare into space. <br />Is this how they shall find me <br />with blankness on my face? <br />Is it not better they find me <br />with a smile left behind? <br />For then and only then, my love <br />will they know you were on my mind.<br /><br />Edwina Reizer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-night-time-s-darkness/
