detached from all senses
with no words to speak
the thing i love most doing
i do least

write.

all words leaked from my eyes
when i cried those tears of sadness
i am now left with
nothing but grains of salt
that irritate me
behind my eyes

then i become blind.

i cannot see the world
at least not the way i used to
everything is tainted
from the sun to the sea
the stars do not blink and
the moon does not shine
i am shut from the world
because i cannot see

c'est l'enfer.

where are you?
i'm lost. will you hold my hand?

it's too much like an eternity.
