Nothing

Sweet sentiment...
Crisp fall air...
Smoke from the mountains...
Glistening despair...
Decent from false righteousness...
A little heavy on denial...
Sleeping in the moment...
Dreaming all the while...
The holidays are coming like a runaway train...
Gazing at the tired mirror, thinking you're insane...
Screaming silently into your pillow...
A rusty smile you try to paste...
Everything is nothing...
And nothing is a waste...
