Hollow

My mind is broken and confused;

My heart bleeding and bruised;

I don’t know how it came to this;

Tell me what did I miss;

I thought everything was fine;

I didn’t notice when we crossed the line;

No one is on my side anymore;

I watched them all walk out that door;

I didn’t stop them, I didn’t even try;

I just leaned back trying not to cry;

I should’ve stopped them but I was too dumb;

To realize they were the only reason I wasn’t numb;

Now I feel nothing but empty bones;

Holding together mechanical drones;

Making me look alive though I’m dead;

Keeping me going despite the echo in my head;

You take my hand saying it will get better;

I nod but inside wonder will it ever;

Maybe I deserve to feel this hollow;

Maybe it’s time this pill I swallow
