Sleepless

When you close your eyes, you do not feel, do not think, do not hurt.
When you close your eyes, you do not feel loneliness, do not long for another person's touch, do not hurt from imagining the impossible and drowning in fantasies.

When you close your eyes, you do not need to fear, you do not need to succeed, you do not  feel failure or remorse or anger or jealousy or abandonment or such tiredness that weighs so heavily on you. You do not wait and wait and wait and hold on to the dreams and promises of the past.

When you close your eyes and believe no more, the world is all quiet. All so quiet.
