It Happened Next Winter

Words that aren't something

I see you and I feel nothing. 

But not ordinary nothing. 

It's so much at once that my brain goes into overwhelm and my thoughts all go blank and all I feel is... nothing.

But "nothing" broken down into pieces, is a whole lot of something. 

I see you and I feel nothing. 

And I can't even begin to explain to you how that feels.
