I close my eyes and what do i see. Miraculously, I see either two things. One, Memories from long ago fleeting on the edge of a transparent void. Two; I see in hues of black and red.. of Nothingness.
The lost... The pain
You see when we close our eyes briefly. We invoke a memory from long ago or just remembered. That ties emotions. Not only to ourselves but the ones we share these memories with. It's an endless cycle of love , lust or fleeting pain.
Then we have the other side to that coin. Our eyes close. Hues of red and black appear. Our body's cold . Nothingness, like the sounds we could have heard when we had ears. Like a knife trying to whittle a piece of wood. But can't because it's dull. It form never really finished.
To close our eyes briefly is just as hard as forever. "Why"? As I felt blooded tears fall from my eyes. Knowing that time has stopped for you and just slowed down for me.
That's because my eyes closed briefly while you're closed forever.
I don't want to close my eyes.
My brother, I see you.

A New Beginning
Tony couldn’t sit still, crossing and uncrossing his legs, trying to calm his trembling hands as Clara stood at the office window deep in thought. The airline ticket in his shirt pocket moved to the beat of his heart¬– each beat bringing back the nightmare causing memories of the words he’d spoken over ten years ago. Thanks to Clara he’d finally gained the courage to buy that ticket.
