you peel layers of your skin
expecting someone (or something)
hiding underneath
but you see Nothing
and it's expanding in your hands.
your palms are bleeding of desperation
wishing to feel Something.
it's spreading like wildfire
and has poisoned your whole body.

i see you,
although you have completely vanished and joined the air that i breathe.
and everyday i wish that i could
hold you and pour out Anything into your being
just to make you stay at least for a little while longer to make you understand that
you are Everything.
