Nothing Is
by Elizabeth, Trickster Priestess

Nothing is real
Nothing
Nothing is

She survived demons and dark lords and herself
  She should never have faded away
                   never have burned away
  She should never have succumbed to mere fever
         should never have

There is no fire
There is no flame
There is nothing

She is beautiful in death, as in life
  But the shining eyes are dull
  But the entrancing smile is gone forever
  But there is nothing left of her
So silent, so still, so wrong for her

Nothing is right
Nothing
Nothing is

I do not weep, as they do
I long to weep and mourn, as they do
I need more than tears

I must find something
I must do something
I must

Nothing is right
Nothing
Nothing is
