Escaping Nothing

It is never as
simple as we think it is,
the need for escape…
The gushing waterfalls that
cascade down to depths
we could never before
comprehend, because we know we
can’t leave. Trapped.

That feeling of suffocating loneliness when
Everything once seemed so easy,
is actually so much harder when
there is no one there
to guide you.
You look out, reach out to feel an overwhelming
Nothing.

No matter how much you long for the
warmth of another,
You are left only with
your innermost dark thoughts, and the night
sky that stretches beyond your comprehension.
An infinity of stars that gather
together to look upon your
loneliness and wonder,
what will we do next?
