There is no there there

I reach for you  And you are not there  What should be solid and firm  Slips through my grasp  Not like water or air  You can feel those  No, this isn't like that at all  This is nothing  It isn't cold  It isn't dark It isn't even a void  Because a void implies some sort of edge  Where the nothing begins  And the something starts  Instead, there is nothing  Nothing  Nothing  And I learn that hell isn't fire and brimstone  It isn't a kind of torture that causes pain  It's not an agony of the flesh  It's just  Nothing  How does my heart go on?
