blink 4 eva


eyes open...
	...peel you out of sleep
	...peel you from the duress
of a bygone slumber

in focus...
	...adrift from the plight of Dreaming
	...waiting 4 the light

4 it is all that matters
be-4 and after 4 never again

in the shadow of what summons you
to dive beneath the ocean tide
breathing saltwater pools
mixed with unadorned saliva
choking and aching
broken but faking
the pain you’re supposed to hurt
and the wrath you’re meant to unleash
instead you sleep...
you sleep...

you sink into the ocean
to cleanse yourself of sentiment
to wash away your love again

ever wonder
why?
eva...
drawn unto the sky?

when you blink
you close your lonely heart
uncertain
as to who you are

can’t you help but close these eyes
4 but an instant of your dream?
despite the threat of her goodbye
in that split-second she’ll dare flee?
even though you’re shackled to this momentary blindness
she never is
4 eva lives
forever
