HOLLOW

When I open my eyes and you’re not there

I feel my emptiness inside and out

Nothing to hold, nothing to remember

Only painful tears are coming from my heart

When I close my eyes and you’re not there

The black is darker but I can’t cry

I kept no pictures, nothing I can touch

Only the agony thinking you went far

My anxiety increases from time to time

Dim is my mood when I’m filled with angst

But I keep trying, over and over

When I attempt to move on finally with my life

And my heart feels so hollow when I know that you lie

That it’s true when you tell me that I’m the only one

When you change conversations to avoid what is real

I get no answer to my question: what I do with my life?
