It feels like I swallowed a black hole.
I can feel it in the pit of my stomach
I can feel it reaching my heart
Tugging at my emotions.
I can see it feasting on my heart
Bit by bit.
First came the anger,
Then the tears,
The loneliness,
The sadness,
The regret…
And all I feel now is
The deep black void.
And I dip my hand
In that greasy puddle.
I feel someone pull me in
From the other side.
I can see myself reaching out
With a smile on my face.
A smile that holds the storm
The storm before the calm
The storm before I swallowed the black hole.
