Swollen Eyes

After spending almost all night crying, my eyes are sore. They feel swollen in my sockets. They're bloodshot and puffy. The salt from my tears left a film on my contacts so everything is hazy today. Like my life, it's all a haze. I walked around all morning trying to keep my eyes open. They're so tired. They worked so hard last night and they need a rest that they won't get. My eyelids burn when I close them. A fire in my head. I want to sleep the next week away- a few hours would suffice. Too bad, the caffeine keeps coming. I can't wake up without you by my side... so I won't sleep until your face disappears from behind my swollen eyes.
