HollowA Poem by Ellie_the_TravelerI remember in the beginning We crackled and smoldered No doubt of your interest You drew closer and bolder
And then we were Together I guess I loved and found comfort My true self I’d express
Always I’ve feared That I’m naught but a shell A hollow Easter egg Captivating yet fragile
My fear is this That I project intrigue and mystery People want to solve Yet when they dig deeper, I’m empty
The interest will wane The wonderment dies Excitement becomes disappointment They move on their eyes
Is this how You feel of late? I dread and predict That spark will fade
I can feel it happening You question no more I am what I am And you’ve no interest to explore
What is it about me? Why don’t you care? Why was it you? This pain I can’t bear
Because with others I knew It wasn’t right from the start But you were different I gave you my heart
But it’s a gift of great value That you cannot accept You haven’t yet found words You’ll need to reject
I’m so scared of the future Of loneliness and self-hate But if you need to move on I know it’s too late
I really don’t hate you I doubt I ever could Please just be gentle When you leave for good © 2015 Ellie_the_TravelerAuthor's Note
