I feel nothing
two voices yell
plunging me deeper into an emotionless void
i feel nothing
the well continues to fill
with the salt water that has drained from my body
drowning my legs
as i look frantically for an exit
into a realm of dreams
i feel nothing
the whole begins to mend its way shut
but is yet again ripped open by your constant demeaning essesence
i feel nothing
my conscious mind
loses all depth and intelligence
and starts to fill itself with the very thing i fear
i feel nothing
