Hollow, Empty, Broken


Hollow

Empty

Broken

That is how you found me

Hurting from a world

Cold and unkind

Safe

Loved

Wanted

Is how you made me feel

I opened up

I let you in

A fragile heart

Barely holding together

Trusting you

To not break it again

Making me think

That you wouldn't leave

You'd stay by my side

Through all of the troubles and pain

Lied

Hurt

Ruined

Is what you did

You pushed me out

You hurt me worse

And this is how you left me

Hollow

Empty

Broken
