Nothing and nothingnessA Poem by Scott Carter
My Journey through the great expanse
Restless as I drift from nothingness to nothingness Rest was always my only purpose Yet I strove to preserve the nothingness Every moment a losing battle against time Today I fight the warrior who cannot be hurt The warrior who's blade cannot fail The warrior who's name is death She thinks me a child afraid of commitment A boy who prefers whatever nothing doesn't last She says for some this is easy I know For me it will be impossible I haven't much time Damn time though my enemy I feel betrayed I wish we could continue on fighting as children He fights now like the bloody reality of mankind He looks in my eyes and sees my fear I look into his and see nothing Oh how I long for my nothingness My sweet nothingness I long to have treated her better Only Empty wishes that pass with the time Until my great enemy sends in his warrior I wish she brought peace for our final battle As a gift for our matrimony Yet she brings only death © 2022 Scott Carter |
