Endless Companions

Started out as a night poem and expanded into something more.

The city extinguishes 
another day 
under an onyx sky.
A sky so empty, 
it resembles a void 
that even a blackhole 
would destroy itself 
trying to get away from. 

Deeper than nothing, 
the thought of falling 
and getting lost within 
a place so endless 
used to be the unlimited 
adrenaline shot 
to my imagination.

Now I understand 
such a space could 
hold everything.

So if I could give it all 
those dark things 
from within me, 
the nagging worries 
and heavy memories, 
then I would find 
a good night's rest 
and the void finds
matching companions.

Like everyone else,
the void desires 
company.
