One Eye Open

She lay sleeping with hidden sorrow. I lay at rest one eye opened. My mind races for answers not yet asked. This hurt is so deep. Hers or mine? Life seems so sad for the young or old? Would she end all so soon? This love is not deep. Selfish, coward, loser. So young to leave and rest. Leave me with one eye opened. Life is not fair to some so young. To take a life at ones on hand is to leave a soul uneasy. And sleeps with one eye opened. Rest now beside to one who's love was not deep. Easy escape. No tears, no sorrow, no pain. Suns up now and yet another morn is the dawn. As I arise time stands still, to wipe a tear from the eye of sleep For I now sleep with one eye opened.
