When Lids Were Shut
I closed my eyes,
stopped myself from the cries
and soon fell asleep
without having to weep.
You were right by my side
in your arms I’d hide
through the cold, lonely nights
I had forgotten the frights.
In my dreams you appeared
and chased away my fears.
I’m happy with you in mind
but reality I could never find.
Morning came, I woke
and into laughter I broke.
Knowing that it was all
but my imagination befalls.
