Pain....
People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Pain hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess death is a friend.
Empty....
Do you know that feeling when you know you're alone, and you don't care? When your mind is numb against everything? When you don't even know yourself anymore? And you've lent to embrace it. Yes? Then you know a little about what being Empty means.
