if hollow is a state of being. a lack of soemthing. does it feel like hunger? does it feel like something’s missing? What if what’s missing isn’t known? Can something be hollow if there was nothing ever in it?
Emma
I like people to know I am damaged
Like how it’s hard to swallow
Incapable of love
I am only hollow
I tell myself they are all better off
Without me around
I will only hurt you!
Only trauma abound
I feel like rotten fruit, sickly and bruised
Can’t get better, can only wallow
My skin is fine, the inside black
Only I know that I am only hollow

Hollow tree, full of wishes and memories, bark-jagged mailbox for children to look for fairy gifts and dream of trees that walk and tell the history of the world
