Close Your Eyes


Close your eyes,

Close your eyes and breathe.

This can’t be me,

This isn’t happening to me.

But it is.

And you can’t help it,

But what did you do?

Why you?

The weight is over bearing,

I can’t breathe.

Close your eyes,

Close your eyes and breathe.

Clothes gone,

Both sides completely naked.

But why?

 He can’t…

But can he?

Did I do something to him?

Is it because of me?

My fault?

But how?

It feels like I did it,

I made him angry.

It’s not fair.

I didn’t mean to,

Close your eyes,

Close your eyes and breathe.

It will be over soon.

But it won’t be.

It will never be over.

Just close your eyes.
