last night i heard
a resonating sound
from both sides of my head.
i turned around to see
where it was from
and nothing
nothing.
i tap my mum's shoulder
"did you hear that"?
i ask.
she groans,
and says she did not hear anything.
i ponder
do voices in your head exist?
are they a thing?
or is it just an expression, a feeling
of agony and pain
that comes from your heart?
because i was indeed sure
i heard that voice
an almost sweet sensation
whispering "nothing" in my ear
as i look around
and indeed
nothing was there.
