i squint my eyes
to block the light
cover my face
to shield the pain
i feel my skin begin to burn
as i turn...

projected light fills the room
shattering the silence of the dark
in a dream i assume
as the darkness breaks apart

a shadow appears
a sihlouette
drawing as near
as it can get

my eyes adjust and what i see
through squinted eyes in front of me
a figure stands that i know
outstretched hands moving slow

i rub my eyes in my dismay
squint again but the figure stays
acid tears fill my eyes
a million thoughts in my mind

upon my face the tears stream down
liquid pain flows in my mouth
i try to wipe the tears away
which my eyes quickly replace

a question forms on my lips
an answer that my eyes insist
as the words are taking shape
my voice cannot articulate

only a whisper can escape
watered down with liquid pain
broken breath the only sound
the single word i hear is 'how?'

i familiar smile that i know
upon the face starts to grow
with her hands reaching out
my flooded eyes bleed with doubt

with my hand i reach to touch
the loving hand ive missed so much
to feel the warmth of her skin
to hold her hand once again

as my fingers are drawing near
her hand seems to disapear
the figure ripples from the effect
and our hands cannot connect

i try again to touch her hand
trying hard to understand
why shes here and why i cant
simply reach out and hold her hand

her eyes cant see me struggleing
to comprehend whats happening
panic flushed upon my face
and in my eyes the liquid pain

with my arms im reaching out
to try to hold the loss ive found
with each touch the ripples come
and her shape becomes undone

my labored breath and racing heart
on my back i feel the dark
the silohuette begins to turn
towards the light to return

the familiar smile that i see
still projeting right at me
the acid tears disolve my eyes
as i have to wave goodbye

in a flash the light just goes
and in the dark i sit alone
the liquid pain still stings my face
and on my tongue the sour taste

for hours now i sit and stare
and wait for to reapear
but in the dark my eyes are blind
and i cannot seem to find the light
