Chapter 29
Empty
Forgetting Sylva
Take my legs,
I cannot walk.
This world is smaller
Than I thought.
I can still see;
I can still breathe.
I'm not unfeeling.
I am me.
Take my hands,
I cannot touch.
There's always help,
More than enough.
I can still see;
I can still breathe.
I'm not unfeeling;
Heart still beats.
Take my ears,
I cannot hear.
This world is soundless,
More to fear.
I can still see;
I can still breathe.
I'm not unfeeling;
Count to three.
Take my eyes,
Now I see nothing.
This world is soundless;
Sightless;
Clear.
I am spinning into nothing.
I'm unfeeling
In this wheel.
Take my sight,
My will,
My hearing.
Take all you want
And all you need.
I can still breathe;
My heart's still beating.
I am not here.
I am not me.
