Void

What is it 

about you that 

makes me cringe?

Your crooked smile? 

Your deep void eyes?

Or is it your discolored voice 

That I can’t seem to make out? 

You stare blankly at me and all I hear is silence. 

You stare blankly at her but with words. 

When you say that you love me, is it because I stick around? 

Or do you just enjoy the darkness you bring out in my soul?

I’m afraid to look back because I know that once I do, you won’t be there anymore. 

You’ll vanish into nothing again and I’ll sink into my sheets 

Wishing, wanting, hoping you’ll come back to watch me drown once more.
