Hollow



Betrayed.
I was fed lies.
She stole from me what noone else could've.
Now I'm here.
Typing my thoughts into this website like it's going to make her come back and return things back to the way they were.
I feel hollow in this shell she breached with warm welcomes, and left with ferocious force.
The void where my heart once was feels nothing.
No love, no hatred, nothing.
I don't think of suicide as a solution.
I don't roam in the memories of the past.
I just lost all the feeling I once had inside.
I'm just hollow.
