I Will Close My Eyes

By Smart1982

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Like a rose in the night, left all alone.Like a flower in the wind, always being thrown.You treat me like dirt and not like a person.I’m going to leave if you don’t start changing.I can tell you’re home ‘cause I heard the car door slam.I can barely live with myself- the scaredy cat that I am.I will lay my head down and try to get some rest.I will close my eyes and hope for the best.Why do I have to live this way?Everyday with you is a very cloudy day.Do I have to live like this all the time?There is always something I’m hiding behind.Now you’re yelling at the kid down the road.For what? Who in the world would know?Something tells me you’re really mad.And now I’m feeling really bad.I hear your footsteps on the floor.My courage just flew out the door.Like a rose in the night, left all alone.Like a flower in the wind, always being thrown.
