Emptiness


A Void A Place No longer here Yet no longer there Not simply words on a page Nay, it's a vortex A spiral of NOTHING An abyss of EVERYTHING Can you feel it? Does it crawl down your skin? Set your teeth on fire? Scald the back of your eyeballs? It's a dark spiral Slowing drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Slowly drawing you lower Until you can no longer feel Until you can no longer think An abyss A spiral A Void A Emptiness
