Hollowed

Peer into the mind of a hollow heart breaker

“Knock, Knock” softly onto my chest

It’s the only sound resonating

I hear no thumps, no heartbeat

Can you tell me what it feels like?

“Hello, Hello” I smiled at you

You seemed taken aback

I liked that

You liked me

You gave yourself to me

Gave me riches, pearls and stones

You said that you loved me

But you love the me that is hollow

“Knock, Knock” softly onto my chest

It’s the only sound resonating

I can’t feel this love, I’m sorry

I can’t fill this hollow body

“Goodbye, Goodbye” I sang to you

You seemed taken aback

I felt a little sad about that

You felt a little sad too

You ran back to me

Ran back to apologize, ask why, why

You said that you loved me

But you love the me that is hollow

“Knock, Knock” onto my chest

I don’t know why it’s hollow

I thought you were the one to fill it

But this glass slipper doesn’t fit

“Miss you, Miss you” whispers softly in my ears

I can’t look at you

I felt you look at me

I stared at my shoes until it passed

You linger everywhere

Linger in songs, my sweaters, the grass is your eyes

You said that you loved me

I’m sorry I’m hollow

“Knock, Knock” loudly onto my chest

There’s nothing there

I was just born this way

I was defected from the beginning

“Broken, Broken” screaming from my lungs

You were the boy who cared too much

I cared too little

You didn’t realize till it was too late

I’m heartless

Heartless, heart breaker, giver-upper

I just couldn’t love you

I’m sorry for that

“Knock, Knock” harshly onto your chest

Everything is falling apart from the inside

There’s nothing left, nothing but knocks resonating

Can you tell me what a heartbreak is like?
