Still
I stand looking at you with eyes that can no longer see.
I whisper your name but the whisper dies even before it leaves my mouth.
I try to look for tears but all I find is a desert.
A desert that walked me to blindness.
Blindness of every kind, blindness of everything.
One step forward and I'll fall.
A step backward I'll drown.
I stand still holding my breath.
A breath that no longer belongs to me.
It wants to escape,
But it's escape would be the end of me.
