Wide Shut Eyes
Piers Faccini
It helps me to help myself
It keeps me from getting lost
It helps me keep the lines uncrossed
When despair will brush her grey blue kiss
The ache will fade like the morning mist
Wide shut eyes
I blindly see
It turns me from turning on myself
It wakes me from dream’s dull nest
It turns me away wanting less
When the poison leaves its violet trace
The bruise will lift like dawn's embrace
Wide shut eyes
I blindly see
