You Don't Even Know

Your tears are needles in my eyes.

I’m unable to look away, transfixed by this blatant expression of sorrow.

You cry out, but I’m wading through seas of darkness.

I can’t reply, I am too far lost.

You beg, and I want to destroy the part of me that can’t answer.

Your goodbyes are well deserved; still, they crush another piece of my soul with each word.

I can’t blink. I’m not here, I’m not anywhere, I’m nothing. Speeding away.

You leave. You walk out of my life forever. Your last look will remain in my mind, tattooed on my brain for all eternity.

And you don’t even know that I’m too far gone to show you I care.
