When I close my eyes,
I hear things.
The sound of a carriage passing as its wheels wobble against the cobblestone paths.
I fade softly against the murmurs of the crowds that encompass me.
Wooden chimes are faintly heard against a howling wind unknown to me.
When I close my eyes,
I see things.
I see her smiling back at me just like I remembered her doing, long ago when things were simpler.
I see myself in the mirror in my dreams, I know it's me.
But in the daylight, I can never be sure.
Brilliant blues and pinks cascade across a sky that, to be honest, I never look up at.
This is nothing profound.
When I close my eyes,
I dream of things.
But that are only familiar to the point of a feeling that I know it.
I close my eyes,
And dream until every petal falls off.
When I close my eyes,
I try to forget what it's like to keep them open.
When I close my eyes,
I try to forget the blame.
When I close my eyes,
I try to remember my name.
