My room is pitch black.

The vacuum of air,

Rid of all sound.

I lay in my bed,

The sheets in a mess.

Why bother tending to them?

Such a trifle.

I take off my sweater,

Toss it on the ground.

I care not where it falls.

I never deserved it's warmth.

Winter pricks at my skin.

But chills not my heart,

For it's already frozen,

At an absolute zero.

I can't feel it's pulse.

Though I know I'm not dead,

I've never felt so alive.

With life's strong weights,

Crushing down on my ribs.

Love's passionate fire has left me,

But has not yet broken me.

For now I'll lay whole,

Cold, and alone.
I wrote this about a week before now... It's just a reflection I guess. One of those spacy moments where you just write what you're thinking.

I don't feel like this now though, so no worries. I'm only submitting this because I really think it captures the emotion I was getting to.

Also (I found this facinating) I learned in chemistry class that absolute zero (-273 C) Is the coldest temperature that matter can possibly go to. The particles will actually close in so tightly there won't be any space between them, while also ceasing to move or even vibrate. Any matter chilled this low would probably be crushed down into an extremely small size.

Very well done, the emotion in it is very potent, well done! :)
