That unimaginable nothing welling inside you will one day rise out of a deep and painful suffering until it brims over, hollows your eyes, and voids the memories of loved ones past, as the mind goes blank; that joy and love and the contentment of the sun on your back are chemical fluxes subject to shift; and that your struggle, your triumphs--everything you’ve know and fought for--will be erased by time; that's what dropped on me the other morning, at 2:00 a.m., drunk and alone before realizing that there is nothing I could do about, and so fell soundly asleep.
Anyone else get these moments? ...or maybe others, more profound.
