Have you ever felt empty?
You think you shouldn't, you have no reason to be, but you've been drained.
You stare into space unable to move, speak, breathe. Completely empty, because you've felt it all too much before. All of these breakdowns, just to end up being numb. You shut everything out, even your emotions because it's just too much.
Nothingness is somehow the most terrifying thing in the world.
Nothingness means you gave up.
Nothingness means nothing will ever be enough to make you feel again.
And that's a shame.
You think you want it all to stop when you're feeling too much but once you step into that feeling, it never lets go. Like gum stuck at the bottom of your shoe.
Because now that this emptiness has taken over you, you can't even be happy anymore. There is nothing and you are faced with only yourself.
Like a reflexion in the mirror, it's always there, staring at you, but you're alone.
And it would be horrible to be so alone, but you don't feel anything anymore.

PoetryIf there was a price in emotion, this book would cost it all... Our tears were melodies that made our feelings a symphony. My life flashed before my eyes. And I got to fall in love with you all over again. I'm fine. But that's a lie.
