You shouldn't have said that

you had no right.

You'll never guess

the words on this paper,

and you have no right to their meanings.

This isn't a guessing game.

This is my soul

in writing.


So don't be that way.

Leave it be.

Let it be my way.

Because if I were to take your suggestion,

I'd be lost of all the affection

that I've spent years, now, collecting

for myself.


Last night,

I broke my own heart.

And I swear,

I'd swear it's your fault.

And last night,

I shattered my soul.

I humbled myself

into an empty shell

of a human being.


Just like you said I should.


Apologies, if you mistake

my pride for arrogance.

I'm not well acquainted with the former.

See, I can't tell if I'm everything

or nothing.


But circumstances change,

don't they?


When others ignore my existence

Why am I the crazy one

for ignoring theirs?


If you can see your world so vivid

without me, why should mine be

a blur?


When you live like this,

when you feel so invisible

and so unloved,

that is when you can begin to understand

that you are everything and

you are nothing.

And no one is here.

And nothing is real.

It's just you.


It's just me.


So choose your words carefully,

honey. Don't speak of what

you'll never understand.

You don't know what it means.

There is nothing to overcome.


Are you afraid?

Afraid of admitting your faults?

Afraid of knowing not what?


Fear not

because soon enough,

we'll meet again.


I am the infinity

you call the universe.

Your black nothingness

will shake the hand of

my black nothingness

and nothing will be known of it—


No one will ever know

where it began

and where it will end.
