The Sound of Breaking Glass

There is a hollow space in my chest!
It feels empty  
It feels forgotten  
It feels nervous  
It feels angry  
It feels tense  
 
So tense!  
The tension runs down my spine increasing pain so potent it paralyzes my mind!  
 
Like 4 people pulling on an elastic rubber band! Hard to see if it can withstand the constant tugging! Chipping away at its strength!  
 
Stretching!!  
 
Like a truck with tons of pressure on top! Heavy pressure to see if the hinges will hold until the very  
end!!!  
 
Crushing!!!  
 
 Any minute now!!!  
 
The sounds  
The release  
 
Pop!  
 
Naw!!!  
Give me the ache instead….  
Let it burn like fire in my chest  
 
The aching never stops  
It’s always there in the dark  
Resting  
…… waiting there!  
Watching me
Stalking me  
Reminding me  
Haunting my nightmares  
Invading my thoughts regardless if I’m awake or not!!  
 
Pop!  
Pop!!  
Pop!!!  
 
Oh… Hollow days  
Oh… Hollow nights  
She went PoP!  
 
Pop!  
 
The aching feeling..  
Give it  
 
Why! Because this pain !!  
That shit kills  
That shit feels  
 
Heavy!!!  
 
Hollow!!  
 
Hollow quickly replaced with sorrow  
 
Weeping eyes!!  
Weeping turns into ugly cries!!!  
The feeling of ripping on the inside!!!  
 
 
Pain oozing, but full restraint  
 
 I live in Hollow!  
 
Hearing the sound of breaking glass
