Hollow

Valleys empty and run away
Fleeing to the hills that surround them.
The hole grows bigger, more hollow
And darkness engulfs it sadly
As they flee.

Rivers are deserted and slip away
Flowing to the big comforting ocean.
The gap becomes larger, more hollow
And dry lands spread through their pathetic
Previous home.

The sky is distant and lifts away
Flying into the discerning vacuum of space.
The world grows larger, more hollow
And despair is felt by the animals and machines
That filled the air.

Empty tears swell with the intake of starving breath
Drawing a sad line as they travel down.
The eye becomes unburdened, more hollow
And delicate tears fall to an empty world
And die so empty and hollow.

I feel so hollow

I’m devoid of my feelings
Like the earth from its beings
I’m hollow.
