No one's favorite nothing ever
Against my will it became my endeavor
No heaven nor hell just a space between
Never will I ever have a place to be seen
Not even to me
No shame, no pain, nothing to strive for
Indiscriminate grey you don't even cry for
I don't weep for myself either, it's true
No one's nothing you never knew
No has become the name to which I answer
The music stopped and I was no longer a dancer
The rhythm ceased, the silence grew
A child lost
Nothing became what everyone knew
They took all they could and left me grey
And all desire in me faded away
Water is life
Until it is turned to ice
For if at least my waves could crash
I could show you I am more than ash
Water is life, but ice endures
A fragile truth
To me? Nothing allures
I can fade to nothing, cold and obscure
No demons to feed
No desires indeed
No one's nothing, the space between
If I die today, to the void I am lost
No price to pay, at no cost
Wait, lost? Really?
That's too great a compliment
I am not heaven nor hell sent
Nor hell nor heaven retrieved
I am to all, no one nothing indeed
No tethered plea
Infinite nothing, eternally free
What happens when you meet the edge of yourself?
When you've decided you don't go to heaven nor hell?
When your time is up, is today is the day?
I woke up this morning to smell the flowers in my vase
But tomorrow is not promised
Nor the next minute more
No one's favorite nothing, a bore
I watch all with amusement though
Your little lives, routines, where you go
I think the hues of your journey are grand
And where you draw your lines in the sand
I watch them move, I watch them thrive
But in the grey I’m barely alive
Everybody has their lives, their roles to play
Their paths well trodden, their dues to pay
They build, they love, they fight, they stay
While I remain a cast away
I know that was never meant for me
As a fire was lit at the root of my tree
No embers light
No heat remains
No one's favorite nothing, the same
No place in the world, no role to fulfill
No mountain to climb, no test of will
Yet I watch, serene, and still
Time is simply something to kill
Where others build, I, forced to withdraw
No ties to bind, no one to awe
No one's favorite nothing ever
Where their only goal?
Was together
To get her.
