Hollow

my lost...

you will not see
the tears I cry

for lost lullaby

far away I hide
from the world outside

street lights seem glaring
as if there staring
towards the corner where you once lay

black as night
the day now seems
gaunt, is now my face

but no sympathy please
I know how it must seem
just speak the violent words I need

to fuel my anger
hold back my tears
and let out no cries

for my baby, my darling, my lost, lullaby.

i'm done.
