Somewhere over the rainbow

These eyes just won't sparkle
they just give watery reflexions
Once they were deep, dark and meaningful
The tears inside them were either non-existant
or flowing and emotional.
Now they just sit
not even on the brink of flowing,
filled with enough tears to create a thin film
blocking the view into my eyes.

The wrinkles around my eyes
aren't the wrinkles of a smile
But old, tired rings
from sleepless nights in the company of my ceiling
Eyes that haven't been closed during the darkness
yet haven't been opened in the light.
Eyes that look, rather than watch
see, rather than...see.

This face is the face of a wanderer
not an adventurer
on a cirular trainline
not getting off
and no idea where it got on
why it got on
what placed it on that line.
Where it just travels
moves
a passenger.

This voice is not angry
not sad, happy, frightened
it's just words,
it's all just words.
This voice will speak
it will talk at you,
these ears will hear you,
these eyes will see you,
these hands will touch you
...but they won't listen, or look
or feel
you.
Just acknowledge your presence
connect a sound with a word, a word with a definition
While these watery eyes see.

This mind is not lost,
its not even confused
if it was lost or confused it would be able to think
it could have something to think about.
It's free
free to move in any direction
but it doesn't know it
if it does it just can't decide which way to move
so it just sits here
not moving

Nothing moves here

I know exactly what you feel as I feel the same. I am no longer for if I were I woouold be lost forever. If you need to talk I am here for you as you would be for me. Two lost souls, gone forever.

That's incredibly sweet hun, i dunno what it is at the moment, somebody told me I just need a bit of direction, something to aim for, but its so nice to know I have such kind support
