#eyeswideopen
Awake again, sleep
Eludes me. I count sheep but
Alas, no slumber.

Ceilings up above me
Oh where do you lead us?
Cold air on my feet
Where may i walk?
Walls all around me
What is outside?
Door handles jiggle
But why can't i escape?
Black vision full of serenity
But why the nightmares?
Windows glisten with raindrops
Why is the thunder in my head?
Sheets lay bare on my body
But why do i feel naked?
Mattress forms to my body
But yet im all alone.

Eyes Wide Open, I stand and stare
Looking around, being there
What is that I do declare
It's a big wide world for all to share
Eyes Wide Open, I stand and stare
I am present whilst you are there
Do you see me when I see thee?
Do you stand and stare because I am there?
Eyes Wide Open, I stand and stare
You look like someone I used to know
Do I move forward or shall I go?
Shall I turn and say hello?
Eyes Wide Open, I stand and stare
Do I belong with you there?
Do I have a future here?
Shall I stay or should I fear?
Eyes Wide Open, I stand and stare
Looking around at all that's here
I'm glad I stayed and worked it out
I no longer fear what's about
Eyes Wide Open, I stand and stare
Looking around, being there
What is that I do declare
It's a big wide world I no longer fear

We were laying there,
into the air I stared with eyes wide open
but I could never speak on what I had seen.
To do so would mean that I disturbed her soul, and woke her up out of her fantasies.
Why question, or penetrate to provoke the mind to critically think
when even the blink of her eyes wouldn't change things?
So should I continue to lie there with my eyes open and stare, not saying a thing, or should I quietly get up, pack up my stuff and just leave her be?
