Blink

[Athos]

Blink.
I lie awake in my room,
Staring at the ceiling.
Blink.
Minutes seem like hours,
Hours like days and I'm still here.
Blink.
Tears come and they go,
Fears ebb and they flow.
Blink.
I can see you
When I first open my eyes.
Blink.
It hurts each time,
When I realize it isn't real.
Blink.
But I can't stop.
Blink.
I don't want to.
Blink.
Seeing you,
Blink.
Is worth the pain that comes after.
Blink.
