Vacuum Poem by Ong Kar Jin

Vacuum



The emptiness fills my heart,
Nothingness gone in a game of cards,
No pain in my bloodless cuts,
No longing in my ice cold blood.

I live yet I am dead,
I hear yet I am deaf,
I am sane yet I am mad,
I am present yet I have left.

For my voice is but an echo,
My being is but a shadow,
My actions are but a show,
My possessions only a zero.

And the emptiness fills my heart...
O' it fills my heart, fills my heart....
