My regrets;

I close my eyes;
and i wish for;
things to be different.
not ripped apart;
tore.

i close my eyes;
so i don't have to see;
the terrible reality;
horrible mess;
made by me.

i close my eyes;
so tears don't fall;
burning my cheeks;
just another scar of my misery;
is all.

i close my eyes;
to pretend I'm asleep;
so i don't have to explain.
my privacy;
i keep.

i close my eyes;
to stay away from this cruel pit,
of life; if i open them;
i might see the sense;
to quit.
