#hollow poems on Hello Poetry

Maria Imran Apr 2016

This inexplicable sadness. This sadness rooting from deep down below. This sadness urging me to finally write. This hollow, crazy sadness. I cannot control it. It's sprouting from within, the shrubs thorny and harsh, it's hurting me all the way. It's hurting me all the way, it's hurting me so much.

I don't know what to do with it. Do I hold this baby and cradle it in my arms, do I push it to my chest tightly and suffocate it? It is suffocating me. It is suffocating me, I don't know what to do with it.

Do I throw it away? But it's throwing me away faster, it's cutting off my strings, it's wounding, stabbing, slashing THASH THASH THASH.

This inexplicable sadness that is hurting me so much -- what do I do with it?

A mountain of pain and I, a feeble little being.

Cadance

You're that failed movie in development hell
But I'm about to greenlit you
Today is your lucky day
And so is tomorrow
I took out the hollow
In your souls cadence.

Drums of Death

*** ba da dum dum

Da da dum ***

I hear them calling
Deep within
Those deathly drums
So appalling

They call my name
To be sacrificed
They deceive me
To believe it's a fool's paradise

I shall not go down without a fight
But I'm so far down I can't make flight
It appears this is my last breath
Deep within the drums of death.

*** ba da dum dum

Da da dum ***

Looking in from the Outside

Looking in between the bars of my prison cell
I witness everything from hate, lust, and love
I will crawl back inside my shell if I should choose to leave this hell

I never thought that anyone could still see the best in me even after many words exchanged.
There is laughter replacing silence which doesn't make me seem any less deranged,
And I never thought I could let someone in without making a change.
But I always knew no one would stay.
And it hurts to be right.

Looking in from the outside,
I still don't ask questions why.
I'm paying for a horrible sin I'm not aware that I committed.
All I can remember is being cold,
And if I wasn't cold my heart would be trembling.
If there was anyone who truly wanted to save me
I wouldn't let myself spill my insides out...

Sinking

I* must wake up for all of those sleeping
I can't be normal with all that I'm thinking
I close my eyes and open them, instantly feeling empty
It's hard to rise to the occasion when I'm constantly sinking
Every milestone tumbles down as I drag myself endlessly
I'll watch the world grow as *I implode
Smile after smile while still being hollow
Keep my mouth closed so I can't make a fool of myself
I'll stay alone so I won't be a burden to someone else
And it's been years since a soul offered a helping hand
But I'll fight for what I want instead going deeper in sand
So when Autumn falls I'll be a more whole man.

Mil años

Mil años

Por las calles vacias de la ciudad, camina con su soledad
y sabe Dios qué angustias la acompañarán?

Y se va triste con su soledad, vestida de blanco como las palomas ella se ve volar
Bájale la luna y no volvera jamas, ella no regresara
Y se va triste con su soledad con sus estrellitas de mar, a dónde la llevarán?

Gerarldina aguanta un poco mas, ojitos blandos como la espuma del mar
dejame juntar tus lagrimitas de sal para que los pecesitos puedan nadar

Por las calles vacias de la ciudad, lleva pena en el alma
que dolores sus labios callaran?
Que memorias viejas habra dejado atrás?
quiere dormir y no despertar jamás con los angelitos quiere soñar

Mil años soñara a la orrila del mar
Empiezas tu jornada desde la gran ciudad, qué esperas encontrar?

Where Does This Sadness Come From?

Great time
lots of wine
you left, I'm in bed.
Butterflies cartwheeling
and then I crumble.

Making memories
family members
people I enjoy
I smile and feel warm
and then I crumble.

Night out
having fun
cool summer night
just a speck of amber street light
and then I crumble.

Long life
loving wife
sitting in my rocking chair
still got all of my hair
and then I crumble.

Worst thing

You know what the worst thing about feeling empty, while being in pain is? It's the fact that although you feel every single fracture and dent of your heart, you feel too hollow, too empty that you can't do anything about how you feel but sit there and wait for it to pass over. There is nothing that can be done to relieve it, and that is why it is one of the worst feelings you could ever feel.

Optional

Hollow on the inside
Unreal on the out
can you hear the echoes that come from my heart
or are you not listening
where are you my dear
I’ve been waitin on you
but I can’t wait much longer
I can only be so hollow until
I become so thin that I break
please don’t break me.
save me
love me
hold me
and never leave me
