My tired eyes can't sleep tonight,
They stay open in my absence.
They think of forgotten love,
and of mistakes I have made.
They long to take the reins,
to seize possibility
and mold it into something more.
But my eyes create illusions
that will one day steal my spirit
and shape me into a wretch.
So, for now I lay awake
and I try to contain
this daydreaming monstrosity.
But possibility won't flee.
It will meet its end tonight,
and in its tragic absence,
hatred will consume my love,
and a savage I will make.

What with the rise of free verse of Starbuck's cups, rhyme is not crucial anymore.
But, if you must know, my poem does rhyme.
What most people are familiar with is called end rhyme, but my poem has internal rhyme, meaning that it rhymes inside each line rather than between different lines.
I thought about it, and I think it flows more fluidly that way. I don't want to spend hours trying to find a word that even remotely rhymes with "orange."
