Void of Vibrations

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
