Hard and distant your pale eyes seem to me as they glitter greenly in the fluorescent light. The white walls of this asylum in which we live our lives fail to contain the vast space between my heart and yours, the millennium of miles reflected in your eyes. Those eyes – angry, piercing, rending eyes they become when fixed upon me. “So close, but yet so far,” the cliché reverberates through my head as we stand, close enough to touch, but so far apart I can barely make you out on the distant horizon – naught clear but your eyes, burning forth with their cruel light. I would go that distance, the distance in your eyes, but I know that I cannot; my ties to this place are still too strong. And even if I followed you, followed you so far from home, I don’t know anymore what you would be in that place. I have seen you clothed in black, while light beamed from every pore, and also, then, in white, while darkness surged frothily in your soul. In that place, what are you? Will you even be there? Or is there just another stop on the imaginary journey across a thousand worlds to get to you? If I fight my way past even that, will I come to the end to find you died long ago? +++ Or, worse, that you never even existed except within my mind?
