Only My Eyes See You

my eyes see you …my heart does not intellect and memory say you are someone I love grappling for my feelings empty hands baldly stare back at me scraps of myself scattered to the wind crows pluck and carry pieces away disassembling me depersonalization or derealization I wander between two deserts how did I land here …will someone please tell me which way to the exit silence answers with clean white pages in rising numbness I am lost an ocean washes through me forceful waves steal my essence leaving only skeletal ribs where once stood a person now a vacuous riddle
