Everything but Nothing

How do you know what to do
when you are left with
everything but nothing?

How do you know what to feel
when you symbolized to someone
everything but nothing?

How can you accept the fact
that somebody felt their life was
everything but nothing?

How can you forget
they wanted to be remembered for
everything but nothing?

How can you explain to others
that they meant to you
everything but nothing?

What do you say if they felt privy
but in reality they heard
everything but nothing?

How can you comprehend that life to some
is a game where you either win or lose
everything but nothing?

How do you know what to believe
when words are a dance and mean
everything but nothing?

How do you let go of conversations
when you feel guilty for
everything but nothing?

How do you know when to stop digging
when you want answers to
everything but nothing?

Even if we never lie
our full truth is trapped inside
People only ever know
the sides of us we choose to show
