How Deep Can You Dive

this void is consuming my every bit of energy
preventing me from being satisfied 
with anything my hand touches
arms expanding forward 
I reach out to thin air 
and grasp the emptiness floating
with spaces in between my fingers
but I'm headed no where
emotions plunge like ice bergs
disintegrating into cold water
spiraling down into the abyss
how deep do I submerge 
before I cant see 
anything, anyone
anymore
