Hollow
By Shawn Joseph
Emptiness abounds
Smiling all around
Hiding from the truth
While tightening the noose
Choking once again
Assuming they were friends
You never sang a dark melody
Here I await a better memory
I am simply a spectator
Fighting not to take over
Watching the deliberate stab
Catching the river of sad
I am now with you always, every day
My arms, my heart, my world, I am here to stay
No matter how hollow some people may be
Close your eyes, and wrap your arms around me
There is nothing quite like the inspiration of emotional pain. Even when it is not your own, pain tends to alter
perception, sometimes to the point of delirium. You can find more of my scribblings on my blog and within
the lyrics of my band:
