When Eyes Speak In Full Sentences

your touch Ability to speak or walk sucked up into your mind compartmentalized As if your spirit was packing up shop and taking your memories on a long vacation, telling your body "Sorry hun, you cannot go." Locked inside full conversations where people ask rudimentary questions and you reply mentally "I do, I know, please tell me what's been happening" But they can't because all they heard was your deafening silence They search out some semblance of recognition in your eyes, but few know how it feels to have your mentality without your faculties Body departed while mind remains home becoming an unwilling participant in your own prison experiment trapped between words and the inability to speak them because you didn't recognize that this could be your final farewell everyone remained unaware
