Hollow

You were swaying like a gypsy,

lost in her own trance.

Never have I seen someone move with the beat.

How beautiful indeed!

 

They say that if you give it all,

You will get the lovely prize.

I showed you how much I care,

Eagerly, I opened my chest and offered my heart.

 

But then you said, "I'm not the star that you think,

but rather the lonely sky dreaming no more;

For love means someone falling,

and I'm afraid of heights."

 

How stupid I felt for holding nothing back!

Maybe it was all lies, her smiles and kisses.

She is gone, perhaps dancing with another man.

She left me dolour and hollow.
