Hollow Heart
By Vera Espiritu •
It's not a sadness
Not an overwhelming grief
It's more like an emptiness
An eternal abyss
A big gaping black hole
in my chest
Devoid of emotion
I watch the world
with a dead mans eyes
with my hollow heart
And I sigh ever such a sigh
To fill the spaces inbetween
I feel like a person of once was
The ashes of stardust
A burning ball of brilliance
Reduced to the blink
of the universe
