Hollow

It's what your name means
Who decided to name the first child
Hollow...
Did they know something we didn't?
Names... They have meaning
They impact us in ways we don't realize
Sometimes I swear... That's all you are
Hollow...
You save lives... Fight fires
In all regards you are a hero
Meeting and surpassing everything
And yet... You message me...
When that exterior seemingly cracks
And the space underneath your skin
Reveals the empty void that lays there
Hollow
Space is a hollow that holds stars and galaxies
But you've lost those stars and color
And my heart hurts when you arrive to me
My grandmother once warned me of wooden beings
They're found deep in the woods
They seem like real people but
when they turn around they're just...
Hollow...
So very hollow...
As you are without your stars
