What Do You Hear

When I close my eyes I hear the foot steps,
When I close my eyes I hear the sound of zippers,
When I close my eyes I feel the feel of hot pain,
When I close my eyes I feel burning.

When the rain falls I hear peace,
When the wind blows I hear strength,
When the leaves fall, I fall,
When the sun fades, I fade.

There she goes,
Walking along head in the sky,
Pretending to be okay,
When really all she hears is the footsteps,
All she feels is the sounds of zippers,
And the feeling of burning sensation.
