cobwebs lace my fingers
when I try to touch the world
and I can’t shake the feeling of being raped
by the delusions I bathed in
as a little girl.
sometimes I wince at my existence
at my own thoughts and the feel of my flesh
knowing that it will only blacken and fade
to an unfathomable..
nothingness.
I have forced laughter with my predecessors
about how their lives will soon end.
I have inhaled the tiny fragments
of festering tissue
hung across the skeleton of a friend.
I have absorbed the evidence in
and cried it out in endless spatters,
but the only trace of comfort
I have ever found
is that
nothing
really matters.

Enigmatic!
I can feel the senselessness of life in this poem emitting like
perspiration from ones pores. However,I am compelled to add,"You matter!" That's the single most important thing to note. All else is "elementary!" -
"cobwebs lace my fingers
when I try to touch the world"
i love that imagery. i read those two lines and thought, wow. it just says so much, beautiful beginning. the rest just drew me in to a deeper grasp of what you're trying to say.
I, too, sometimes take comfort in the idea that nothing matters. it allows for a certain degree of freedom. and sometimes you have to take what you can get.
excellent peice.

I love the detail to your writing. Very gently spoken but just so damn intense! Really enjoyed this and look forward to reading more of you!

I find the fact that nothing really matters an enourmous comfort .. a release, almost.

always so much clarity in your writing. it's almost unsettling, you know. in the 'i'm so envious' sort of way!
-
this is fantastic, very intense indeed. you could really feel this, and the emotion was so well communicated, for lack of a better word.
