Let me close
my eyes
and wait ‘till
all these are gone
I won’t say
a word
I won’t
bother a soul
like before,
like the
many other befores.
I’ll
remember the songs
the pauses
and the sharps
I’ll
remember the dreams
the hues and
the steeps
I’ll
remember the poems
the measures
and the rhymes
I’ll
remember there’s me
never with
you.
But tell me,
tell me
Lolita,
when all
these are gone
when all
these are over
tell me when
they’re done
so I’ll open
my eyes once more
and that once
again
I can
convince this world I’m okay.
Although sometimes I think, what if, and I wish, I didn’t just open my eyes.
