Nothing

That soundless breath
A gentle pressure
In the back of my head
The weight of a promise
Too heavy to keep
Minutes cut with a razor
Seconds laid out in lines
Memories mainlined
Directly into my veins
There is a void now
A nothing
Nothing
Nothing
This place knew those dreams
Fresh blossoms of youth
Blew a winter wind on them
I watched each one wilt
Fall apart into dust
On the ice cold floor
Of a heart that used to be
Perpetually in spring
There is a void now 
A nothing
Nothing 
Nothing
There is a void now
A nothing
Nothing
Nothing
