Hollow

I know this is the one, from all those years go. My clothes are filthy and I've not eaten in days but this is the one, so none of that matters. I drape myself over the Faery Mound and softly sing:


Hollow by Nick Black
isn't it right?
isn't it great?
pick up the pieces together again
don't forget
have no regrets
it only leaves you hollow

wasn't it right?
wasn't it fear?
i think that i thought that you were gone but you're here
whatever i said
whatever i did
only left me hollow

you're wasting time but so am i
the pictures on the wall
wherever you go
you and i both know
that i will follow

wasn't it twice?
wasn't it a shame?
thought it was you
but i'll take all the blame
only yesterday
was it just today
will it be tomorrow

didn't it shine?
wouldn't it fade?
was it a difference that you and i made
and if you forget
to have your regrets
it only leaves you hollow

you're wasting time but so am i
the pictures on the wall
wherever you go
you and i both know
that i will follow

your wasting life
and so am i
we stumble and we fall
whenever you go
you and i both know
it will leave me hollow

~HOLLOW~

I finish the last line and my eyes start to close. I've sank into the ground some and I can't move. There is a glimmer but I can bring myself to look because looking would mean admitting that I believe. I feel the hand and see the light... then nothing.
