Let me be your nothing

Let me be the darkness

When you shine in relief

Let me be blank canvass

When you’re poised to paint

Let me be your nothing.

Let me be the lull

Before the melody occurs

Let me be your paper

Before the words spill

Let me be your nothing.

Let me be the poem

That you only spin in mind

Let me be the silence

Before you make a sound

Let me be your nothing.
