everything

i embraced you and thought I had everything
but I felt nothing
i thought I had everything
i had nothing

the thought of you was something that was golden; polished and smooth
prized possession and treasured

finally, I had you
it was somber and dull
filled with agony

I thought I had everything
but I had nothing.



nothing

i left though I had nothing
i now have everything

i am joyous and untroubled
i have everything, though now I have nothing
my back and shoulders are relieved now that I don't have the pressure of carrying such burden

i am free
i have everything
though now, I have nothing.
