Everything in Nothing

You were nothing to me A mere human to get in my way To try to enlighten me Not again How absurd I wouldn’t put myself at the mercy of another Again I promised myself that And for a while I kept to my promise But soon enough it wasn’t so easy You always spoke I always listened Sometimes I wouldn’t comprehend the words I’d just be lost in your voice It’s not fair I couldn’t put myself through this again The promise was broke Shattered to pieces upon the floor The day we kissed The day of the beginning of forever My fear was lifted off of me As a smile appeared upon my face everyday No more days of feeling alone Never feeling useless or unwanted So many times in my life, have I loved But now it’s different I’m loved in return Such an extraordinary feeling To know that you mean everything to the person Who means everything to you You were nothing to me A mere human to get in my way To try to enlighten me It worked I’m in love I’ve fallen again The only difference is My first attempt at loved failed All I got was everything inside of nothing And then it was all taken away My nothingness was empty But I filled it with tears This time though My second attempt prevailed I got everything but nothing And more My everything was in you And I still overflow it with tears Because I’m so overcome And happy now Because I finally realized If you give what’s nothing a chance It’s possible you’ll find everything Everything In nothing Written January 9th, 2002 © on Jan 09 2002 09:28 AM PST    18 • 0 • 8
