Bed Time

By JAMES GROB

Eyes closed.
Affection fraction
Pain reaction
Soul without
Soul.

Eyes shielding light,
Darkness
Mind’s
Only friend.

Eyes open.
Nothing to
See
Nothing to
Hold
Nothing to
Hide …
With sleep.

Eyes move.
Rapidly.
Bad dreams
Silent screams
Waking
Alone.

Eyes water.
No one’s 
Lonely
Until 
Some one’s
Gone.
