The Black Space

Only I can fill it

On some days
When I drink the murky magic liquid
I forget I’m not supposed to care

On these days
I wear my irrational inner workings
Like a badge of honor

And when I come down
I look up from the hole I’ve dug
Trying to get closer to you

But you, do not love me
You’re just another iteration
Another lesson

Another way for me to
Look in the mirror
And once again, drag myself up

Once again,
Break another promise
Attempting to fill

The black space
