By Definition It Adds Up To Zero

By all means
I know what
This comprises
Of

Simple advances
Complex thoughts
And one big
Nothing

Sort it out by
Making lists
Hoping it helps
To showcase
The missed

Simple words
Complex emotions
And one big
Nothing

By all means
Why don't you
Just say what
You mean
Clearly and loudly
So my heart can
See all that is not
And all that will
Not be

Simple looks
Complex actions
And one big
Nothing
