Apathy

Floating in a frothy sea of sand
Take in a mouthful
Tastes like sleep and chocolate
Lacerates my throat going down
Dark knots of pain run up my spine
I love the feeling
reminds me I'm alive
I dive down, touch the fiery core of the earth
and feel nothing
flesh melts away, to reveal pistons and gears
not the first time I've lost it
It'll be replaced, much to my chagrin
just sheath my skin with metal
reflect all around me
you see nothing within
I surface
Sweet music floats toward me
on a breeze of promises
vibrations rattle the void
I hear nothing
Leaden boots encase my feet
melt into pools of black
free to hobble about on stumps
I'd rather sit
seasons pass, spine crumples
winter's winds brittle eyes
nocturnal muscles, loss of time
I see nothing
Stumble about tiny cubicles
dankest lair
I slide down the tunnels
on a path to nowhere
Tethered to rampaging bull
cloven hooves smash my teeth
fill the gaping maw with shit
I taste nothing
Empty calories burn away
exhausting toxic fumes
choking clouds surround me
pull towards the sun
heat waves wash over
spark heart to action
I'm too close
Flying too fast
Plunge into pools of plasma
Ash and smoke swirl
I smell nothing
I am nothing.

Now you have me feeling bleh.

Tastes like sleep and chocolate.
I've never really been one to wonder what something food wise tastes like, but this has me craving something wonderful..
Thanks a lot for writing something that I cannot have.
It's not like I can eat a candy bar and coax myself to sleep.
