eye

used them to see 

now just for knowing 

everything is soft and grey

sleep building on the eyelids 

if they close 

there is no waking up


eyes used for seeing love 

now devoid of even life 

staring into them now is just 

staring into a blank night 


gateway to dreams 

yet they spilled away 

left with fogginess

eye scrambling in disarray 


these eyes saw it all 

color dripped  from them 

last time they balled 

these eyes have no emotion 

last thing they see 

is them closing
