Eyes & Dreams~

Inspired by The Book Thief- Markus Zusak

One eye open,

One still in a dream,

The sky spilled onto the ground

Gingerly tempting me to drown.

One eye open,

one still in a dream,

I saw something that I never could when I was asleep:

The sky adorned with diamonds hiding behind clouds,

The moon trickling out of its shape of a frown.

One eye open,

one still in a dream,

The prickly winter breeze sang to me

As I struggled to fall asleep.

The clouds softened my fall,

The rain wiped my tears away,

The birds etched a smile on my face

That the dark had so depravedly snatched away.

One eye open,

one still in a dream,

Wrap me around in flames ‘till i'm safe from all the grief;

Throw me down and watch the train, ablaze.

I’m not a feeling you’d call afraid.

One eye open,

one still in a dream,

I’ll cover your mouth when you scream.

"One eye open, one still in a dream" is line from the book itself, credits to Markus Zusak for that line.
