i look into the mirror
but see no reflection
nothing's there
a formless void
has replaced the entity
that once i thought was me
i am gone
invisible i've become
to all around
i am no longer there
a nameless nothing
worth even less
seen by none
cared for by fewer
there is no reason
for me to be
anymore
those i thought i knew
have silently slipped away
to become indistinct shades
skulking in the fading passageways
of almost forgotten memory
deserting me
abandoning me
to a solitary fate
i drift alone
nothing more than a vague illusion
fading into hollow oblivion
i once was
i will be no longer
nothingness claims me as its own
