Healer now bandaid
Pheromone now fart
I mean less to you now
Sustenance now side-dish
Lightning now glitch
Holy book now sticky note
I don't mean much
Meaning this means nothing to you now
Meaning there is no meaning in trying to find out the meaning of this now
Meaning you find no meaning in increasing your attempts to find meaning in me now
Meaning you're basically gone forever now
I've poured over dictionaries
Book tombs
Youtube videos
My skin
Prayer books and mats
To figure out why
But it is still you who has to answer
