Snickerless


Saddness? No,

not even saddness.

Nothing. Absolute emptiness.

An attempt to feel when you can't 

feel anything at all.

But somehow it still

hurts

because of course it does.

It will always find a way 

to hurt. 

Even when nothing else can be felt.

Even when you aren't yourself.

If I only had a Snickers.
