A Hollowed Heart
I’ve seen the scars love leaves behind,
Each wound a whisper, a cruel design.
It’s not just fear, it’s something more—
A locked heart, guarding a shattered core.
They say I’m ugly, too thin, too tall,
Their words built walls, ten stories high.
Why would someone want to stay,
When I’m nothing special, just in the way?
I’ve given my all, only to lose,
Left broken, with no path to choose.
Everyone seeks something fleeting, untrue,
While I long for love that feels brand new.
But I can’t be the weight on someone’s wings,
Holding them back from life’s finer things.
I’d rather be alone, no hearts to break,
No sacrifices someone has to make.
It’s peaceful here, in this quiet space,
No need to run, no need to chase.
Though loneliness knocks, I won’t reply—
It’s safer here where no one lies.
So I’ll stay in this solitude I’ve known,
No heart to hold, just my own.
For love may be a beautiful art,
But it’s scary when it tears apart.
