Vacuum

Life ends in a vacuum

No one can call you home

It made sense to leave

The city was loud and filled with people

I didn't want to know

A black screen chewed all day long

On my miserable reflection

Scratching up white pages

With my meaningless jargon

And even when the highway was desolate

It echoed back to me

Night's stomach was always growling

With discontent of gnawing

On clumsy speeding tin cans

Lamenting the land it once had

Before we yanked the stars

From of its mouth

And the house I shared with you

Wasn’t quiet at all

Its stillness roared like thunder

The loudest silence I knew

I understand what it was only now

The noise of one

Being ripped in two
