Description
You were the one who showed me how to breathe
How to open my mind and my eyes;
to the emptiness and vast
beauty (see also: suffering)
of the world around us; to touch
the wind
(and feel the sunshine on our backs)

and when my eyes opened
yours closed
and with it came the slam of a door
closing in,
you were afraid of what you saw

you revealed
unveiled
exposed
(left naked in the streets)
the abstract ebbs and flows of your
brain

I was jealous at how miraculous it was

(without the necessity to go with gears and symmetrical lines)

you exiled yourself
closed the world away and turned to a darker corner where you could be alone with your thoughts
(Oh how I know those corners as well)
with the idea that you were not exiling yourself
you were banished (mais la verité te libérera)

you almost turned around completely
your back facing my front,
but
you reversed,
and I saw in your eyes:
The watery image of an old person,
weary with age
and in your irises (deeper to your retinas)
I saw the shifts in time itself, where
too much had been experienced
too many bruises
too much pain
your face never showed, but your eyes showed everything
I will never forget how I still see you
the pale one, fearful
with wide eyes,
(I feel that you were cold)
before everything else
it is burned in my brain and I will forever envision it when I blink
(Perhaps that is why I prefer to stay asleep. I can forget the bad memories)

you became static,
coming in and out of grey fuzzy matter that sparked when it touched me
then smoke, billowing weakly away, running with your back to me
I fell, my hands on my head
(my head between my knees)
screaming,
flailing,
sobbing
you were everywhere and nowhere at the same time

It feels like so long ago,
that I first felt free,
and now as I feel more closed than ever
(I did this to myself)
and blinded to the beautiful and torturous world you showed me
your smokey figure runs faster away from me
I cannot keep up (as if I ever could)

You were the one who showed me how to breathe
How to open my mind and my eyes;
to the emptiness and vast
beauty
of the world around us; to touch
the wind
and feel the sunshine on our backs

You were the one who showed me Life.
