Nothing (Poem)

How do you describe nothing?

How do you define the state of lacking?

God, how did you take it and make it?

Why did you?

Can you tell us?

Days now have passed

The smile I show is dead inside

The frown that has been absent would be unfit

I cannot stand either one

They harbor the same pain

How do you describe nothing?

How do you define the state of lacking?

God, am I losing it?

Can you tell me?
