Does Not Exist

[The Void]

Haven't written anything in months, bare with me...

I stand alone.

or so I thought

surrounded by my dark things

all gathered in a bunch

crumpled all around me

on the floor

just another pile of dirty laundry

taking up space.

My mind has become

such an empty place

I don't even know myself anymore

every time I think I have something

to hold

I lose my footing

my grip

all that I knew

loses place.

Maybe it's me

and I should finally admit

grasping for things

holding too tight

wishing,

wanting,

longing,

is not enough.

never will be.

so

I stand alone

looking around me

trying to find

that place to land

that piece to hold on to

but

it never comes.

it does not exist.

[The Void]

I think I know who this is, but 'Jane Dead' hrm....not sure of the new name?

I know I'm not the inspiration for this but it sure hit close to home for me. Very well done. Excellent piece.

Yep. That was pretty awesome. I wish there were music with that one...
