Hollow

A wanting, a yearning
forever unfulfilled
A hollow, a cavern
that I’m far too weak willed
to ever fill

Trapped and yet empty,
am I just a shell?
‘resilient yet brittle’
you don’t know me that well
You never will

I’m swallowed in darkness,
nothing solid to hold
Struggling frantically,
I make moves far too bold
And help is nil

I’m chilled to the bone,
‘til numbness sets in
no heat will interrupt
my sweet oblivion
Thawing is worse

I struggle through the black
Water with undertow
My limbs leaden quickly
as I’m tossed high and low
My patches burst

Water quickly fills
So I was hollow
Though briefly I flounder,
deep downwards I follow
Freed of this curse
