whereas

....once we were merry,
drunk with one another's voice,
though it seems vapid,
you disappear by choice.

even as you're standing,
in body-before my eyes,
the emptiness swallows you
and the moment lies.

i watch you,
your evaporated soul
drawn deep into anything
but the now,
looking to anything
but what surrounds you.

i know you....
because, sometimes,
....i am you-

-so desperate to be
anywhere but here.
