Thirst

There are moments when I feel empty,

I lose all emotions.

I lose all feelings or sensations.

I just suddenly become numb.

It strikes quite often, 

Usually at night.

While I'm lying in bed

Just when my right eye starts drooping.

I sit up when it does.

Go out, get some water.

Drink, pause, then smile.

Water can't fill the void----of course not.

I'm just not thirsty anymore.
