nowheresville

all alone in nowheresville,
where no one lives nor ever will,
where nothingness for all exists
and time stands still

in nowheresville

void of laughter, tears are dry,
no taste to quench the appetite,
no morning dew or dark of night
no hearts to fill

in nowheresville

no risks to take, no foolish pride,
boundlessness lies by your side,
no prophets selling after life
no one to kill

in nowheresville

no fond hellos, no long good byes,
no hills to climb or even try,
no joyous moments sacrificed,
no love to till

in nowheresville

void of what was once inside,
no written word could deft describe,
and so for now a lullaby,
for all is still

in nowheresville
