Cosmic Dust, Humans and Nothing: Synonyms

Staring at the sky in a cloudy rainy night

sitting in the sidewalk just by the door

just back from work, eight hours of smoke

hours forever lost, not for the neighbor though

The b*****d was inside, fornicating what once was mine

I couldn't bring myself to stop, she was happy

with which face would I face her anyways?

fired from the job, fat, bald and ugly

The light rain suddenly became a downpour

I wished for a lightning to kill me and the happy 'couple'

nothing, just endless water, at least it could

hide my own tears which i haven't seen for long

Perhaps if I was a piece of nothing 

wandering the dark and infinite universe

alone and lost in journey from anywhere to nowhere

I could find peace of mind or anything

"Stop being stupid old man, just kill yourself"

said myself, so I jumped from the Golden Gate

the next day frustration along with my wife

spouting sugar covered lies while i had to put a smile

aaaaah how I wish to be a nothing

I really like this poem. The first line in the second stanza literally made me say the word "dam" out loud. This is a great piece of writing.
