Hollow
when the p a i n becomes too much
when the darkness sets in the void
c a r v e away
until nothing is l e f t behind
no flesh to muscle
bone to marrow
nothing left to want
or need
or take
nothing left to break
or even feel
just h o l l o w
the absence of everything
and for a moment
the silence feels like mercy
you have made a home
of the emptiness
