her thoughts often left.

her hopes fizzled out. to nothing.

reality is questionable.

why bother?

who knows?

her fingers pick at the scabs on her knees.

no sensation. no pain.

the world is gray. dark. empty.

draining.

draining. so, so draining.

tears dried up long ago.

empty. not here. not there.

nothing. no one. nothing.

is there a purpose?
