Emptiness of Nothing

It is dangerous to feel it

It feels as lustful hunger

It feels as unquenchable fire

It feels as if the darkness from the universe

Brews inside one

It makes you feel like you are about

To let currents of salty water come out from your eyes

It feels as if it repels everybody around you

No one can approach you

And you don't have another option but to remain lonely

It makes your stomach hurt

It makes your chest burn

It makes the heart twirl in agony

Making it miserable

Making the one who possesses it

The bluest of the people

This nothing that hurts like hell

This emptiness that swallows every word a poet has to say

This blank space inside my chest that won't allow me to love anyone

It is asphyxiating, for it covers your mouth preventing you from screaming

If you try to cry it won't help at all

You will only flood that place with more murky, salty water and ink

This emptiness of nothing capable of swallowing poets

And sealing their mouths

It is as painful as platonic love

Or hunger in the morning

It is obnoxious as headache on Mondays

It makes every emotion more intense

It is dangerous to let nothingness inside you

It highlights pain

It feeds the flames of desperation

It is imposible to quench its thirst

For the more salty water you give it

The bigger it gets

It is simply nothing

It is emptiness

It is unrequited love

It is depression

It is a desert

It is a dry river

It is a blank page

It is an empty chest

All of this took place where a heart used to exist.
