The Empty Space in Me

when i lye alone at night
when all the masks of the day are
ripped away, and the voices of others that
deafen the screaming within are replaced by only by the
Moon's music in the wind
When the pleasures of the sunlight are enveloped in
the darkness, that is when this black hole wants to bury
my casket
This empty space that sits right under my chest, that I try to
cover with love, and drugs, and writing and sex
It empties its toxins through me
Like cyanide that poisons the
divine that flow through me
This empty space in me that cannot be filled, and continues to scream
That no matter what I do, I can never give it what it needs
The emptiness that on lonely nights, when everything is ripped away
that forces me to hold down on my brachial artery-to check it is still
beating
Sometimes at night
I am holding my butcher knife
Feeling like ripping apart my skin,
and searching for this hollow space
This nauseating hole within
Sometimes at night, I feel like tearing apart
my fibres, tangling every artery, desperately
rummaging through every organ, misplacing
every vessel, swallowing everything
just to
find this space
So I can fill it in
