When I close my eyes

When I close my eyes I see my parents still happily together.

When I close my eyes all us kids are still alive.

When I close my eyes I am eight again the year before my life changed forever.

When I close my eyes I am still happy.

When I close my eyes nothing is like it is now.

When I close my eyes is a fantasy phrase for a world I will never be able to get back again.

When I close my eyes isn't a world that is real.
