When I Close My Eyes

as we all play our part in life 
events beyond our control 
can take you down 
you can fall into yourself 
cave in 
but when I close my eyes 
I can see  
your sweet face 
gentle blue eyes 
feel my breath on your skin 
melt with the heat of your touch 
eyes wide open brings truth 
as my heart aches with raw pain 
unbearable loss
