NOTHING

i met a girl once.

her eyes held every star in the universe
so curious, so naive
she's always has questions about millions of things

her cheeks are always pink, most likely from the goofiness in her heart

and she always smiled
she was a light that travelled for miles
just to bring out the best in everyone
just to bring out the best in herself

in dark days, her presence is always sought
her comfort is unlike any other

even i can say she's one of a kind

i know another girl as well.

she's not like the first one, no
she's different

instead of galaxies, her eyes were blackholes
the moment you look at her,
you'll never be able to get out
unknown, dark, endless

but her mind—oh, her mind
every corner, every part of it,
it's filled with so many things
galaxies, supernovas, big bangs
seas, tides, oceans
everything that is unknown
is inside her head

she can destroy you,
ruin you,
break you,
until you're nothing
but nothing

now, would you believe me if i said they were the same person?
