Closed.

I see you all, smiling.

Each one of you, just as I remember.

Euphoria fills my mind.

Tears spill down my face,

And into the crater in my chest.

The hole that grows bigger,

And more tender,

Each time you embrace someone new.

The distance between us feels small, fragile.

Paper thin.

I could float out of this fog, and into the next.

It’s no use to try..

I can’t take you with me.

Open.

It’s bright and overwhelming.

Isolating at best.

Cruel, twisted regimes..

Mundane, yet fought for.

A plane of existence,

Where you all no longer..

exist.

Maybe for now,

I will feel peace,

In the most quiet of places.

I see you all there,

And truly no where else.

Which is why,

Until our reuniting day,

I will enjoy my time alone,

With my eyes

Closed.
