Tales of Torment: Void's Company
Loneliness and aloneness aren't the same, but two sides of the same coin. The same as solitude and isolation, ways of spending, and in some ways losing, this currency we call time. The very thin line between each pair isn't always very clear. Aloneness I hadn't always, but have come to enjoy. Loneliness, however, I do not, and never have found to be enjoyable. Time in solitude is restorative for me, but time isolation leaves me seeking more and more isolation. The very same weariness that was present prior. I often find myself moving back and forth, and sometimes, with a foot on each side. Like a coin spinning, only time will tell, on which side I will land.
leave me be-
in void's company
for long it has been silenced, my plea
in the darkest sea
for long no one could see,
and now it's my dream
i can't stand to be seen
but in this darkness i can see
there's a strange peace in this field of agony
away from the sun's anxiety
and the day's tyranny
in void's company
nihility has a committee,
and absence is its vocabulary
only in closeting, can one study its meaning
ruminating, how an emptiness full of itself, is my surrounding
quietness besides me,
and vacancy hosts me
but in these black waters i've learned to swim, and come out clean
and through the black blades of grass i learned to walk, i can see
i am too late for saving
i found, void's company
