**A Hollow Wound**
A suffocating void, a gnawing ache, A phantom touch my bones forsake. Shadowed whispers claw my mind, Echoes of love now left behind. Crimson rivers, silent screams, A shattered soul torn at the seams. Sanity frays like tattered lace, Pain etches scars I cannot erase. I miss her like the dead miss breath, Like lovers lost to time and death. A hollow wound where warmth once grew, A grave of memories steeped in blue. Each night I drown in anxious cries, A requiem beneath blackened skies. The weight of loss, a brutal art, A dagger plunged into my heart. No air remains, no light, no grace, Only sorrow's cold embrace. Hope decays in lifeless eyes, Buried deep where mercy dies.
