Hollow Used Empty Still, the pain flashes through my body The lightning of a storm Illuminating the demons That have made their way to the shadows I trip over the broken soil on the ground and lose myself to sorrow I didn't see this coming I never do The clouds do not gather and grey The sky does not darken The tears begin before I notice them fall I fail to slow this panicked breathing Picking apart my last moments... What was my trigger this time?? Speechless and empty-handed Soaked from the downpour Weak from the memories I lie on the cold floor with my demons Allow them their attention Before I start to dig another grave Shallower than the one before Eventually, we will part ways On foot Or below the dirt In moments like these I welcome the latter.
