[2017] Null And Void

   
Not sure it matters much  
that I average an hour of  
sleep per night these days  
   
When I do dream?  
It's never about you  
and that makes me sad  
   
You say you dreamt of us  
again and again and  
Oh, how it was lovely  
   
And all I can think of is  
what the fuck is wrong with  
me?  
   
You say we were lovers  
in other lifetimes, yet  
I don't feel a thing  
   
I take you at your word  
use my imagination, but  
It's just not the same  
   
and all I feel is  
   
shame  
   
The Great Father calls  
upon me through you, and  
I don't hear my name  
   
I sit there patiently  
waiting for his spirit  
to stir my flesh and soul  
   
and all I feel is  
   
null    
   
and    
   
void
