Waiting for Your Eyes to Open

You open your eyes,
Bringing a smile to mine,
Nothing’s as it seems,
This is all a dream,
The body lies still,
I feel a terrible chill,
I know you won’t move again,
But I hope it’s only a matter of when…

This is permanence,
Yet my ignorance
Forces me to hope your eyes open,
My ignorance is in thinking when,
In ignoring the reality,
In ignoring your own brutality,
I’m happier in ignorance,
I’m happier in believing there’s a chance…

Still I wait for your eyes to open…
Still I lie awake at night and keep on hoping…
