Hollow

i sat down on the floor today
for no particular reason
just needed to feel something solid
underneath the season
the ceiling looked the same as always
the light came through the blinds
funny how the world keeps going
when you're losing your mind

i made some tea i didn't drink
i wrote some words i didn't send
i picked up my guitar and sat there
couldn't play it in the end
just held it like it meant something
just held it like it could
remind me who i was before
i lost the things i should

hollow
not broken
just hollow
the kind of empty
that has edges
the kind of quiet
that has weight
hollow
not broken
just hollow
just waiting for it
to be okay

i called someone and hung up
before it even rang
i wasn't ready for the answer
to whatever question sang
so i just sat there with the silence
let it do what silence does
slowly fill the empty spaces
with the echo of what was

hollow
not broken
just hollow
the kind of empty
that has edges
the kind of quiet
that has weight
hollow
not broken
just hollow
just waiting for it
to be okay

it always passes
it always does
it always passes
it always was

just waiting…
just waiting…
okay…
