The Nothingness

Profound Nothingness overshadows my day and night
Once burned the ardent fire of desire.. now only the ashes of a long gone pyre reveal my plight
To this wasteland I have come willingly
Altruistic in service to others yet in the end I have also disserviced them chillingly
The nothingness consumes all near me in the realm of…. “Less than what it could and should be”
What I miss grows within…. from desire…. to disquiet…. to dislike….. to debris
Time and nothingness will deplete even the friendship from our place
I will not walk in a daze to that final debase
Trapped in the nothingness… of myriad falsities I could bemoan
In truth I am only trapped by my choice alone
