empty
no you
no me
nothing on the tv

silent
no pinging on the phone
just the wind outside
all alone

darkness
no light
from outside
since it's nighttime

bland
no colour
since the world boasts
shades of grey

all it is
is a collection of nothing
a silent storm
of rapid clouds

all i am
is a collection of things
than never happened
and made me who i am (not)

if it rains
i hear repeat
over and over again
in my head

a sentence you recognise
but wouldn't know
unless
you were with me

my red curtains
have been drawn
so i wouldn't even know
if you were outside

i apologise
for ignoring your calls
but i can't take you
anymore

i'm bored
with being bored
i should wake up
find a world

but there's nothing to see
so clear
empty
of people who used to be
just like  m e
