my hollow heart

49 10 5
                                    

My thoughts stumble on each other
like a storm in my head
and full of dread

It resembles the sky
punctured by rain water
stained with fear
an absence of love
and a reminder of pain

Carve open my heart
and you'll find what i say is true
Its empty
red and empty

I'm empty inside
devoid of warmth
like the flower pot
sitting empty by the corner

So I'll sanctify my hollow heart
with my lies
I'm fine
I'm safe
I'm fine
I'm good
To dissolve my fears

I wont let anyone in
I can't
I won't
so I'll block the pain
I'm fine, I'm safe
until my tears fall again
