Eyes Open

I dream of you every night
Last night I reached out my hand
and hit something nearby
I awoke and realized it was a bottle or a can

The terror and painful grief and anxiety that I felt
Over the realization that you are gone forever
and I am left here on my own with no more cards to be dealt
You were my only one but the poison in your mind lead to a certain never

My eyes were always open as we kissed
Just so I could see the only real beauty I have ever witnessed.
