The Hollow

The Hollow

A Poem by Crowley
"

Just trying.

"

What is it about the hollow that draws me
The need to see the lights from the darkness at the edges
Your window burns bright and your silhouette beckons
My hardening heart rolls rather than beats and you hear it, pausing

The night I tried to kill you dear was unnerving
No fear could I find in your eyes, watery and dull
The night I tried to kill you dear was unending
No love could I find in your smile, lonely but full

What is it about the hollow that draws me
That bed was the place where you swore your allegiance to crows
Your mind seared any that would look upon you in lust
Taking bangles and heads, the carrion price too steep, wincing

The night I tried to kill you dear was descending
No desire could I find in your thighs, cold and hard
The night I tried to kill you dear was unbending
No regret could I find in your heart, stony and marred

What is it about the hollow that draws me

I'm absolutely terrible at reviewing other peoples work but I really love this! You've got some great lines in there.

"That bed was the place where you swore your allegiance to crows..." Awesome. I wish my brain would come up with lines like that lol.
