Close Your Eyes

There is a picture of me
Handcrafted and carefully sewn.
It lies some where only you can see
It makes you feel less alone.

There was a time right after we met
When I trusted you with my heart
But I lost that bet
Now I count my blessings that we are apart.

You spend all of your time
Wearing that suit
Bathing in quarters, nickels, and dimes
You don’t enjoy the bounty of your last pursuit.

Her dark hair and smooth slender thighs
Are as empty
As you and your lies
Glossy hair won’t make you happy.

When you look deep inside of her eyes
Straight through to her soul
Does what you see make you cry?
Or is that you, see nothing at all?

You have your girl.
You have you’re money.
But what you’ve lost is
But what you’ve lost is

There is a picture of me
Handcrafted and carefully sewn
Close you’re eyes and you will see
I guarantee it’s there.

So close your eyes and look at me
Close you eyes, can you see me?
Close you eyes.
