When I saw you

When I saw you
in that place so far from pain,
in that place so far from reality
(and far, far from your heart),
I wondered
why you still wept

as though your nightmares
have followed you to Paradise.

When I saw you
staring into the distance
with those hollow eyes, like a well
(deep, with black, black water),
I wondered
why I felt

as though we were both dissolving
into Nothingness.
