Hello, my name is Nothing.

I bet you've met me before.

I'm the secret enemy of all humans.

Are you intersted in learning more?

 

You were lookingat your love.

Your young eyes connecting.

He asked you to say three words.

Instead, you said nothing.

 

You watched his heart break.

You watched his feelings leave.

You watched his body grow numb.

You watched his heart fall off his sleeve.

 

But, you felt nothing.

Thus, you were feeling me.

Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

Nothing but your secret enemy.
