Flower handicraft by Puji (Aurora Crafts — IG: auroracrafts9 — Medium ID: Puji Astuti)

Icarus unbound
The inevitable drop
“Never learn, do ya?”

Late at night as you stare
At nothing in the ceiling

Nothing stares back at you

And as the abyss beckons to you
You realize one thing:

You yearn for that plunge
Down the unfathomable

Too close to the Sun

Too close for comfort

Those you hurt and those who hurt you

Faces
Voices
Phantoms

Your constant companions
In the free fall

Tears ran dry, nothing else remains
Nothing but nothingness

Top of the lungs
Nothing heard
Avast! Unto the deepest ocean
Rock bottom

Where weird fishes swim

Where fantasy and reality
Is easy
As an ABC:
A blurry chimera

The only chatters
Are your gritting teeth

Pain felt in the searing heat
People go in a heartbeat

No
They never go
You go

No
They never leave
You leave

No
They never escape
You escape

To the abyss
To the void
To the ocean

To your memory palace
Where you reign supreme
And your loyal subjects
Are nothing
But specters of your beloved

Where all that you touch
Turn into gold
Stone cold gold
Exactly as nothing you need
Let alone want

You want nothing
Nothing
But to disappear completely

Where not even weird fishes swim
