Abyss

The abyss is not just a place
it's a feeling
Bringing with it the cold you feel
when you're alone
but you aren't

Many have fallen into this other
this lack of being
The loudest sound is that of your heart
Stopping
Or maybe the lack of breathing
so painfully loud in its absence.

So scream, panic
A passerby might hear your silence
as the echoes of the abyss rebound inside your head.

Or use this nothing
fill it with
Something
Make it yours
and watch the flow of emptiness in the air
as it materialises

This is where I go
This is where I dream
Here I am safe from the nightmares that haunt me
Here
I can lose myself
Here
I don't exist
