Hollow

Hollow
Not just an empty breeze
But hollow

I lie under white sheets
Feeling hollow

Hollow about you
Hollow about me
And things that pass us
In between

Fish scales
Folded sails
Dull afterthoughts
More than meaningless blue

An empty sea
Empty harbour
Blurred lighthouse
Lamplit moon
More neon
More hollow

How can the ribs of a song
Made for life
Peel the flesh
Drink the blood
Pour freezing ice
Into eyes that are hollow

Hollow
How can life eternal
Seem hollow
