I wish I didn't feel this vacancy, this void in my chest.
I can't get up, can't fall asleep,
Stuck in a ring.
A bride just hitched to Grief.

How he whispers in my ears,
Calls my name slowly and sleepily.
Invites me to feel things,
.oh. How he feels me.

He wraps me in cloths of gloaming,
Heavy and laden with delusion.
He holds my mind in his clutch,
Reasoning forfeited hours before.

Because .oh. Grief,
I want to feel anything.
