Analysis of Hollow Flower

Ryley Williams 2006 (san antonio)



Happiness so distant never-ending continues to be infinite,

Sadness creeps like a hollow flower so black filled with sorrow,

I try to Fight but the flower never wilts so tall like it’s on stilts,

Will it ever end the flower so tall and dark oh how it
leaves its mark,

The light so distant like a plane in the sky oh how I wonder why,

Oh how the hollow flower blooms once more now I know why,

soon the plane will leave again never to be seen
 but maybe It will be easier if I began to try again.
