Of Emptiness (and other pressing matters)

What do I do with all this spare time
Starve with my thoughts alone in the night
Hold down food, but what does that serve
Everything bleeds and reason will churn

But I drove here to see you
I hope I don't love too much
Empty rooms, with their curtains closed
This songbird seldom flies
What colours your eyes

What do I do if I forget how to drive
I'll choke on the pill that keeps me alive
Should I not mourn this life I don't earn
I'm thin as the smoke, and hell in the burn

But I dressed up to see you
I hope I don't talk too much
Vacant smiles, where nothing penetrates
What is the note you sing
A more consuming thing

What do I do if I forget how to learn
Stitch a tight mouth, like a kid never heard
Should I not cry when an ocean consumes
All the nice things I never could do

But I have your number
I don't want a place in your book
Empty tables where the light hesitates
What is the weight it brings
A warmer thing
A weightless thing
A priceless word
You

The death of emptiness
