Analysis of Nothing
Nothing I can do.
Nothing I can say.
Nothing to keep you here,
and allow you to stay.
Nothing to hear.
Nothing to tell.
Nothing for you,
except how I feel.
Nothing to save you.
Nothing to see.
Nothing to know,
except everything about me.
Nothing to prove.
Nothing to say.
Nothing to tell you,
but don't go away!
