Nothing

Nothing, dark silence
Nothing, cold darkness, cruel
Was I even dead?

Nothing, empty mind
Silence, my voice does live on 
Speak it to me

Open your wide eyes
Open your mouth, talk, please do
Else, your breath will die

Try I to move; bold
Nothing, useless effort, cold
Fly I, abysmal

Fly I higher up
Fly I, become I once more
A dark mystery!
