ask me
when everyone is asleep
and
all the lights have burnt out
ask me
if i’m alright
make it sound light
when you say you’ve seen
me crying
it should scare you
this void of vibrations
in the air
they
should be stinging
and absorbing
in your eardrums
but somehow
you don’t feel a thing
ask me
when all the lights
are turned back on
if i’m okay
make it sound light
when you say you know
i’m lying
it should scare you
this void of vibrations
in the air
they
should be stinging
and absorbing
in your eardrums
but somehow
you don’t feel a thing
because there was never
anything to feel
and that thing
the one you swore
was always void
was never there
because it never
began
