I'll Shut the Blinds

26 Apr I'll Shut the Blinds

It must be morning

I’ll shut the blinds
to fall asleep,
unable to keep my eyes awake.
They’re tired
and want to escape
the endless tears
that blur their vision.
They fall for it every time,
shutting out the pain,
hiding from the light.
Until the sun
pries them open.
It must be morning.
I’ll shut the blinds.
