Nothingness, sweet Nothingness,
Come wash over me
Coarse through tired veins
To once again bleed

Nothing lasts forever
But everything has an end
Even if twice removed from it
Can’t escape this downward trend

I feel angry; I feel happy
As I blister, burn, and peel
I feel every opposing emotion
If only I could just not feel

It’s a most impossible desire
To want the warmth of Nothing
Oh how nice in the dark
And the sweet comfort it brings

To freeze all the senses
And lie in Nothing’s embrace
To take no more chances,
And hide in the shadow of my face

Give me a place with no more words
No more feelings, and no more hurt

only you could so poeticly move me with so much emptiness...but I am always grateful that you do feel, and live in a place with words...as it creates inspiration of these  graceful words of yours...
beautiful poem jer,
stalking you always,
your jm

 and you can say baby...
baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if told you the right words...
at the right time,
you'd be mine...
baby can I hold you tonight...

You really find the right words to describe an irrational desire to feel nothing. Terrific poem.

I Love how you described Nothingness as warm and welcoming.  Makes it so welcoming and something almost to yearn for. Wonderfully Done

 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

How I prayed like this so many times.
It's nice to know you can put to pen.

 I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

that place is complete silent. The place with no hurt, pain or tears. And it's deafening. Your words are beautiful

"To want the warmth of Nothing"

Beautiful.
A lot of the time, nothing is eveything, huh?
And nothing is good.
Great piece.
