The rhythmic pounding in my ears
Drowns out the tears
That slide so easily
Down to my lips
So wet and salty

The pit grows steadily in my chest
Opening wider at her behest
The numb void spreading
Through my veins
Stopping the tears from more wetting

Emptiness calls again
A time honored old friend
Sleep will come to me at last
Sweet nothing overtaking me
Erasing both my future and my past
