And She Felt Nothing

Hello empty, futile nothingness
Our paths meet once again.
Your black tunnel eyes bore into mine
In you I see slate sky pouring rain.

Forever running from this
In unforgiving nothingness again.
And good people’s eyes wash over me
They never stop to take me in.

I carry on, there’s nothing else
In unforgiving nothingness again.

I peel this onion once again
Bleeding tears of acid rain.
I find comfort in the welts of pain
In unforgiving nothingness again.

That's written from a very sad place, hope you are just good at empathising, if not I would just say that you have created something of beauty out of that sadness, enjoyed the read.
