Nothingness

Jasmine Millan

They said it would make it all feel better  

Now I lay awake feeling nothing 

I would have never thought I’d miss sadness  

Now I find myself longing for it 

Wishing I never left its side 

There was something comforting about it 

Knowing that even if I wasn’t there it would be  

Now all that remains is a tiny capsule  

Taken as a false promise where would I had that though
