Nothingness
I remember-barely but I remember
The emptiness and the entrapment
You opened my door of knowledge
You encouraged me to think beyond what I always thought
You encouraged me to question
You encouraged me to see other sides
You were a pleasant surprise
We built a mental friendship
One in which we could gain knowledge from each other
Nothing kept us together
And nothing is all that it amounted to
What can we call it for it has no name
Why do I still look for a name
My illusion that there was something more causes me to package you in the way that I want
It is your words that bring me back to reality
The nothiness that you say that illuminates the emptiness
The emptiness and the entrapment
You opened my door of knowledge
You encouraged me to think beyond what I always thought
You encouraged me to question
You encouraged me to see other sides
You were a pleasant surprise
We built a mental friendship
One in which we could gain knowledge from each other
Nothing kept us together
And nothing is all that it amounted to
What can we call it for it has no name
Why do I still look for a name
My illusion that there was something more causes me to package you in the way that I want
It is your words that bring me back to reality
The nothiness that you say that illuminates the emptiness

Excellent Post!!
"Nothing kept us together
And Nothing is all that it amounted to"
WOW!
"The nothingness that u say that illuminates the emptiness"
Amazing.
Like a journey. A short journey between a rock and a hard place.
Appreciating the position but expressing the frustration.
Very poetic.
Very expressive.
Nice 1.

I like the beginning
It makes you stop and think …hum what does she mean?
The emptiness and the entrapment…was this a long time ago?
Are you no longer empty and entrapped?
Verses 2 and 3 give the impression of a time of happiness…a pleasant surprise.
What happened?
Nothing kept us together – the two of you were together but you don’t know what attracted you to him…you don’t know what it is about him that made you want him????
This verse also gives that impression that you were disappointed when it amounted to nothing…you are frustrated that it has no name…you would like it to have a name…a meaning.
It was very meaningful to you…you still wish you could have something meaningful with him even now….
The nothingness that illuminates the emptiness – even though it has no name it still has substance and that’s why it’s able to illuminate the emptiness.

Now that is what i like and the type of effect i was hoping my blog would have.
I want people to try and interpret it, and to even see it they can relate to that same or a similar feeling.
Keep on reading and interpreting...
