I don't see

I don't feel

I don't listen

I don't speak

I don't breathe

I don't move

I don't shine

Yet I dream

I stay true

I cannot lie

Half the time, I cannot function

I am empty

I am the absence sewn within the void

The death in everything is alive

It's in everything and everyone

As our tears become oceans

Our bones, the earth

All we are, we were, we remain

Suspended in the glow of a dead star

An ode to the fathomless, cold reality
