Hollow

I would be lost

drifting alone

floating up high

time after time

and there you'd be

shining brightly

your smiling face

to guide my way

Bloody and bruised

brought to my knees

when beaten down

when broken up

you would appear

reach out to me

heal every wound

and make me whole

was it all a dream?

will I never know?

foolish and blind

to everything

had I realized

had I thought it through

would you be here

in my embrace?

shine bright

once more

guide me

to you

smile bright

once more

this time

I will never let you go

with your every smile

hiding something more

dark mysteries

lurking beneath

but I was consumed

with this emptiness

this selfishness

this void to fill

hear me

once more

show me

your smile

this time

for sure

i'll see

the truth that is inside your tears

but I

I know

that you're

long gone

but I

I will

go on

howling and hollow
