Shadow Poem by Kaysen Fraker

When I close my eyes
I see so many things
countless images
so many that its a different one everyday

Your smile gleaming in the distance
your face lighting up my mind
your eyes piercing my soul
and when my heart really aches for you...

I hear your voice
every sweet tone
making me miss you more
bringing my heart so close to breaking

I've kept my eyes open for as long as I can
it's starting to hurt
but I fear
closing them will hurt more

Your smile gleaming in the distance
your face lighting up my mind
your eyes piercing my soul
leaving a shadow over my heart
