Hollow

I still hear you When the room

forgets how

to breathe

I built these walls To bury your name

But your shadow Still stains every frame I sealed our memories Beneath

the floor Still somehow I’m reaching for the door I tried to

rinse you From my veins But your silhouette Returns with every rain

I tell myself

Your chapter’s closed Then wake with your absence Caught in my throat

I know you’re somewhere Past my reach I know the distance Has

a pulse Every breath

Becomes your voice Every heartbeat

Sounds like us

I’m hollow

And you’re still living underneath my bones Hollow

I gave you everything I called my own You left an echo

In the architecture A fracture Underneath my skin And I keep digging

Through the aftermath For somewhere

We still exist I’m hollow But somehow I still feel you when

I’m alone

I hate the gravity You left behind

The way your absence Bends the shape of time Every room

Has learned your silhouette

Every midnight Makes me pay the debt I fed our photographs Into

the flame

Watched the edges Curl around your face But smoke can carry What

fire can’t erase And your memory

Still knows my name

I know you’re somewhere Past my reach

I know the distance Has a pulse

Every breath

Becomes your voice Every heartbeat

Sounds like us

GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY BLOOD YOU BUILT

A HOME INSIDE ME THEN CALLED IT LOVE I’M STILL HERE BUT

SOMETHING’S MISSING I CAN FEEL THE VOID WHERE YOU USED TO EXIST

Maybe I don’t miss you

Maybe I miss the man I was

Before your hands became my compass

Before your absence became a god

Maybe the hardest part

Wasn’t watching you disappear

It’s waking up inside my life And finding you everywhere I’m hollow

And you’re still living underneath my bones Hollow

I gave you everything I called my own You left an echo

In the architecture A fracture Underneath my skin And I keep digging

Through the aftermath For somewhere We still exist I’m hollow And somehow

I still feel you when I’m alone

I still hear you

When the room forgets how to breathe
