I am hollow

I am released of all burden

into nothingness

I am a whisper

vast emptiness

Aching for what has been lost and

Longing for what will never be again

yet suddenly

The clashing mix of now versus then

in the final tick of a clock.

The world I lived in to a great relief

The past and present overlap

before my eyes

Life and death

Love and its unblinking absence

Powerless, I am sinking

Against the waves

Knowing not

what lies beyond

the enclosures of this life.

I am forgetting

how it felt

to be human.
