What is it that's tearing up your insides? I can see it in your gaze.... the way you glance at the open with those cold, depthless, green eyes.... I feel the presence of your body and the absence of your mind.. Which leads me to wonder....Are you completely out of reach? Has this all gotten out of hand? I feel your glare pierce right through me- and I'm left feeling so... transparent. As if I was made out of glass and my insides were empty. I feel your face slide between the tips of my fingers.. but I don't touch you. My lips and tongue assemble words and phrases but they don't move you... Not the way they used to. So here we lie... in the present, slowly becoming a part of the past... As if we didn't have plans for the future.... As if we hadn't done, and been through, it all. As if I wasn't at some point in time the fine focus of your distorted visions.... Now reality is distorted and I'm the one out of focus. But I still lie in this bed.... And watch you stare out at the open. Every time you look into my eyes I can hear you yell..... The room is filled with piercing screams of silence. And all I can do is look away... because we are looking at the same picture, but we're not seeing the same thing. Forgive me.... for I never found the right words to describe to you my world with you in it... No, I never did. I never knew where to touch you to numb the pain. No, I never did... I never opened my eyes to all the signs that you were slipping away... No I never did. So now I'm forced to open them and watch you as you slip away.... into this world, and out of my .. sight. And I hope that you stay.. focused.... and never let what's important step out of sight. Don't let the picture get distorted... Don't let your goals go unaccomplished... Don't let your dreams be only vivid when your eyes are closed... I hope you never forget what's important. You stay focused.....
