Nothing

And so long

I held on

Just to let go

Of something in my mind

Something I kept inside

That never was real

Never would have broken

Though the imaginary surface

Of the walls within my mind

And taste reality’s air,

Inhale a fatal breath

And slowly wear down

What I never could have had

Never will have

To feel

To bask in and dwell on

No, I’m left in this

Sad fictitious existence

That I call my own

Neglected this time

And put to the side

For more important matters

More important souls

And hearts

And chances

Well, no more

Will I wait for this something

This nothing

That was never guaranteed

Outside of my mind

Outside my dreams

Inside this life.

No.

I will not hold

What longs to be free

And I ache to release

And erase from my mind

The pain I suffered

And the nights I cried

For my everything

My reason…

When all there really was

Was Nothing

This is a great write. The "nothing" could be many things. But, I get the sense that it's about love; maybe the writer loved someone and did not receive it in return and what she wants and longs for is something that she simply can not obtain or have...

Write on ;)
