I finally let my mind
sprint for you
and search for you
in that hollowed skull of mine,
but it couldn't find anything.

So it was then that it anxiously,
no, restlessly,
like a scared beastly creature in the night,
did it begin to claw its way down,
all the way down
to my heart,
all the while as I was choking
and desperately tearing myself up,
and weeping in a manner no sane person would weep like,
like a limb has been lost,
with anger and frustration and terror,
just pure anguish.

It ran in circles around the
miniscule, mauled thing
that was all I had left of a heart.

It was empty.
