Array ( [sid] => 175765 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => the part of you that never sleeps [time] => 2013-04-17 07:42:39 [hometext] => [bodytext] => why cant i fill this empty space that
empties its contents through me
sucks every day of its gentle
pleasures
why is there a black hole in the
centre of my soul
why does it want to bleed me dry
every night when I lay down to die
why is there a windtunnel in my mind
that eats all my words
and leaves me with nothing but the
sound of broken thoughts blowing
through the wind
how do I begin
to even piece together the fragments
of thoughts barely formed? When you are
nothing nothing nothing more
Then something trying to fill an empty space
... because sometimes that nothing fills bigger than the something
the space follows you whole; watching yourself from the outside of
your skin
the darkness feels bigger than you
the feeling of sickness seems to poison the soul its
connected to
why does this empty space have to infiltrate the
best of me; why can't i fill this empty space inside?
when you lose all sense of time, everything is so far away,
its eating me alive
i know it now

and if nothing else;
maybe one day I will
find a way to fill it myself [comments] => 1 [counter] => 123 [topic] => 61 [informant] => cherryamber [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

A written puzzle to which the last three lines are really the best answer. I have a path to follow which I return to when these emotions appear. "Windtunnel in my mind" is a good line.
