The empty space in my chest mocks me when I try to fill it up again. Friends….movies…pain.. Nothing works. Every meaningless action just echoes off of the walls, Each sound getting quieter and quieter until it never there at all. I never knew that nothingness could hurt so much. Isn’t nothing supposed to not feel like anything? Isn’t numbness supposed to feel like nothing? Instead I just feel the hollow space of where things should be Of the things I should feel.. And that emptiness… As It Echoes Through the Abyss… Hurts more than the blades that cut through my skin.

The Abyss
