Unphysical

I drop my words Into a vacuum -So there's enough room- But they're vacuumed up By the lack of air 'Cause I made no wings To bear them Without force I let them go I let gravity Take it's course Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Go up in flames Or slowly rust All that's eternal Is that's pure Pain and hate And love -no more And I'm so scared That it's all in my head That life's a steady march To dead Dead ends and culs-de-sac Take one step forward Then quick! Turn back.
