Nothing Nevermore...

Today I woke up,

And for one blissful too-short moment,

I forgot everything.

 

I didn’t know my name,

I didn’t know who I was,

Or what I’d done.

 

My name was nothing,

My face, I had none,

I was floating in nothing.

 

A warm red blanket,

A soft large shield,

Holding back the world.

 

For just one heartbeat longer,

I relished in my emptiness,

But then the shouts brought me down.

 

I realised who I was,

Remembered what I’ve done,

I felt the scars on my arms.

 

I force myself out of the shield,

And put on my armour,

And my mosaic mask,

 

The shouts are louder when the door is open,

I yearn for the moment before,

It will keep me sane nevermore…
