A girl once saw the void
I can tell you lots of stories which
I don’t think you “ll believe
but I’m about to tell you one
which is not for the naive.
This is a story of a common girl
who fell in love with the void
and from the righteous side of life
she chose not to be decoyed.
It was a rainy day in town
she was wearing her blue boots
and decided to take a shortcut
from her job into the woods.
Watching the leaves being heavy
from the fresh autumn rain
she took a deep breath of nature
and suddenly felt terribly in pain.
A pain so harsh directly in her stomach
she couldn’t even breathe
and as she was falling down in mud
she knew she couldn’t leave.
She was crying in the rain
all alone and afraid
when she saw a silver hand
from the sky to her aid.
She also saw a strange figure
she thought she ‘d lost her mind
how could a faceless creature
be truthfully so kind?
“This must be an angel”
she thought and gave her hand
miracles never happen though
in such a dreary land.
The moment she grabbed the hand
there was nothing for her to feel
the pain disappeared!
This just cannot be real.
“Who are you sweet stranger?”
“Where are you coming from?”
No answer was given though
at least in human form.
She touched her stomach
where the pain used to be,
something was flying inside
like a bird or a bee.
With no other means to say thank you
she tried to reach the faceless thing
mesmerized by the feeling
that this encounter would bring.
When she tried to touch it though
she found herself in shock!
For there was nothing there
it was all a mock!
“But this thing has helped me!”
she shouted in despair.
“I feel something different
lurking in the air.”
“Please show yourself!
You have saved my life.
If you were a real hero
I would be your wife!”
The faceless creature vanished
but the sun didn’t shine.
She felt a creepy feeling
running up her spine.
The landscape changed
the sky turned white
no trees, no mud now
just a pale light.
Nothing could she see
not even hear a thing
she felt like being trapped
within her own dream.
“What is happening?
Can you help me, please?”
But there was no one to hear her
no exit door, no keys.
Suddenly a hand appeared from nowhere
it was the same as before
she desperately tried to reach it
but still, there was no core!
“Did I create this place?
Am I going mad?”
The only thing she knew
she wasn’t feeling sad.
In fact, she felt beautiful
surrounded by the void
there was nothing to be afraid of
nothing to avoid!
She had never been so happy
she thought that she would cry
but there were no tears
her face was still dry.
She tried to hurt herself
she squeezed her own arm
but vainly again!
She felt anything but harm!
“This must be paradise,
that was an angel indeed!”
She now wanted nothing,
for her there was no need.
No enemies, no thieves
no stress about tomorrow.
She couldn’t think of anything
that could bring her sorrow.
And this is how she lived
or better say, existed.
A different ending to a story
although a bit twisted.
Actually, there is no ending
this is not a common fairytale
a girl once saw the void
and that was her tale.
