Empty Inside

There's a black hole inside me

It pulls in bright stars

And snuffs them out

It collapses in on itself

And explodes

Ruining me

And I'm empty inside

There's a prevalent loneliness

Pervading

Even when I'm not alone

But I'm never alone

This darkness is always with me

A black cloud hanging overhead

It won't go away

There's always a sense

Of nothingness

Sometimes vague

Sometimes poignant

A feeling of weightlessness

In a terrible way

It's not freeing

It's restraining

Smothering

Choking

Reminding me

That I am nothing

If I were to allow it free reign

To do as it will

I'm afraid I would become

So hollow and insubstantial

That I would simply

Cease to exist
