There's just thin air

I guess the only advice I can give for reading this stream of consciousness - type of thing is to know when to take it seriously and when not to. Inspired by Intense Hunger™

There's just thin air
where his head used to be

Could it have been
just a collision?

A surprise crash, a flash, a wave?

The head used to
feel

The body remembers
echoes of a rush

of a violent gush

You feel that same push
how it pulls, when it shimmers in the distance

You know you're not going
to reach it

...

There's just thin air
where his stomach used to be

Could it have been
an accident?

A reaving, raging fang, carving on and on?

The longing and
the weariness

...

There's just thin air
behind these two eyes

The goodbyes

We say, "we'll meet again"
and we do

And it's as if nothing has changed

We say, "see? Nothing has changed!"
and one of us is left thinking

in fear

What if I want something to change?

Author's Note

This isn't really poetry, but more like me trying to interpret my current feelings into words. It may seem all serious business, but then that wouldn't quite be "me".

Though I couldn't understand the poem very well, I think it was very gripping and interesting.
I loved the last part-

'There's just thin air
behind these two eyes

The goodbyes

We say, "we'll meet again"
and we do

And it's as if nothing has changed

We say, "see? Nothing has changed!"
and one of us is left thinking

in fear

What if I want something to change?'

It was lovely and adorable :)

Don't try to label this or force a category on it! It is too intense and deep to cheapen it that way. It is great because it takes you on an emotional journey. Even after the last line it beckons you to keep going and draw your own conclusion.
