No eyes

Sodium chloride burning eyes.
Blinding sight and perception.
There are things worse than broken ties.
Red from rubbing.
Sand crawling behind.
Cleaning roughly, scrubbing.
Vision swimming coalescing into shapes.
Flashes of vibrant color.
Fluttering before eyes like a windswept cape.
Scratching like rough sand paper.
The colors all fade save red.
Pain turning thoughts to vapor.
Moisture wet on hands.
Slick and worn.
Wet hair sticking in strands.
No more color to see.
Merely darkness coupling with black.
The longing to be free.
There is no turning back.
