Fear Evaluation
I am terrified
when I close my eyes
and I can't hear
BB King
playing
sweet Lucille,
I am terrified
when I close my eyes
and I can't find
one peaceful image
one soft pillow,
I am terrified
when I close my eyes
and I can't reach words,
I am terrified
when I close my eyes
and I can't sleep,
time, memories, reality,
eaten me,
I am terrified
when I close my eyes
and I see too clear
my bones quiet
my bones quiet.
when I close my eyes
and I can't hear
BB King
playing
sweet Lucille,
I am terrified
when I close my eyes
and I can't find
one peaceful image
one soft pillow,
I am terrified
when I close my eyes
and I can't reach words,
I am terrified
when I close my eyes
and I can't sleep,
time, memories, reality,
eaten me,
I am terrified
when I close my eyes
and I see too clear
my bones quiet
my bones quiet.
