Everything is Nothing

November 6, 2009
By Anonymous

The cold air blows
The wind howls
The snow falls
The streets become sheets of ice

The cold air surrounds
Nothing holds warmth
Nothing is familiar
Everything is nothing

In my world
There is no home
There is no safety
There is no color
There is no warmth
There is no family
There is no laughter
There is no love

I have heard of such things
But have never known
How I wish to know
How I long to be loved
How I crave to be held

But everything in my world is cold
Everything is vacant and lost
Everything is nothing

The author's comments:
This is about how at times everything seems to be gone. How you can feel alone in the world, that nothing is there. How you feel like everything that once seemed to hold so much warmth is now empty.
