The Horses Ride

Riding horses into the void
When here I am content
I can't even remember my name
Nor can I remember hers
You'd think I'd find a way to avoid
The acts of foolish despair
All these days linger
But later lead to shame
Until I go back I shake
I'll ride horses into the void
One moment the abject pain
The next I am cold and still
The horse working its way
Through the void, that calls me
From the empty nothingness
If the horses someday refuse
What will be left
Only the nothing I retreat to
To be lost in that place
I wait but when no one calls
I'll fade, fade away
