The Vacuum Poem by Brian Kilpatrick

The vacuum that is your mouth
Keeps sucking me in
As the words leave your mouth
I can barely make them out
But you keep trying
And I keep lying
In the vacuum that you have
Created with your mouth
Pulling me into to the nothingness
Sharing the numbness
We battle for nothingness
For causes imagined
And reasons unknown
We sign up again and again
The more we fight
The more I surrender
Unconditionally you vacuum
Trying to clean my soul
Your vacuum takes control
My soul implodes
And you just smile
Returning to the pile
That was once my soul
With your vacuum hose
