A World Without Me

I was never here (there)
for you (or anyone)
Just an abstraction,
--an impulse,
pure capriciousness.

Boil me down, purify me.
There'd be nothing left.
It's hard to say I'd be gone,
I was never here to begin with.

I can't say I blame you for blaming me.
With being nothing comes a certain expendability.

I wasn't real, no matter how hard I tried.
The magic could only be sustained for so long.
The shell grew brittle.
Hairline cracks laid my emptiness bare.

Infinity was never anything but nothing.
Nothing is all I ever was.

Don't bother searching, I was never here.
