Beautiful Tired Eyes

Don't you hide your tired eyes from me,
they're my latest fad,
my newest addiction;
so full of truths untold,
nights spent restless,
days gone by.

Don't you bother to cover them up
I can't see the deep purple shadows,
the beautiful depth of life spent
with eyes wide open,
and sleep left to the dreamers.

You are a believer,
a seer,
a take no shit doer.

You travel through pages,
through countries,
through memories,
with your tired eyes,
and yet you do not rest.

There is too much to see in this world,
and sleep is saved
for the dead.
