Hollow Spaces

by Viola   Apr 13, 2008


You're too unkind my love
And I'm too fragile to be around you
That already says a lot
Now I don't want to hand out accusations
So I'll write them down instead
And put them with the rest of my unsent letters for you
Maybe one day I'll have the strength
To tell you- I wrote them for you
Every one of those silly love poems
Or the ones that made my friends cry
As they sat on my bed and gave me looks of sympathy
You see I saved this spot for you
But you haven't bothered to fill it in so long
So it remains empty like a shell
Funny, if I blow it in now
The way I did a shell I found upon a beach as a little girl
I only hear the sound of crying seagulls
Instead of the waves swaying at the shore of the ocean
Crashing, crashing waves in angry abandoned hearts
How did you ever get so far from me?
I haven't been around you in so long
Hoping this way it's easier to get over your voice
But you said you've been very happy lately
That's what you wrote
And if you're happy without me around
Well, then I think that already says everything I need to know
