Hollow

I wish I had a friend

Someone who would love me to the end

A person to help me when I fall down

And rescue me when I start to drown

No one knows how I feel inside

And if someone did, I wouldn’t have to die

If they knew me, they would love me, right?

That’s what I tell myself at night

When sleep alludes me and I feel hollow

And my emotions make it hard to swallow

They come and go like waves of pain

Eroding away what keeps me sane

I pound on my head so I feel something

The demons in my soul are cunning

And it’s not pain that’s hurting me

It’s a lack of feeling that makes it hard to breathe

I need someone to make me whole

To climb inside and fill the hole
