Honey eyes are spent,
such beauty in their unrest.
Close them now, and sleep.
I have seen you in
your most vulnerable state
and it might kill me.
I will stay awake
for eternity to watch
you drift in your dreams.
A momentary
release, freedom from this cruel,
unrelenting world.
I find happiness
in your unmoving eyes, the
stillness of your hands.
God himself could not
shut these lover’s eyes, for this
is my own release.
