Hollow

Your lust
burned
like hell's fire
an intense sin
tearing through my soul
as the journey
of your warmth
slowly promised me
what my heart believed it wanted

And I prayed
knowing
your hands
your face
your words
were like an empty temptation
that gave my tonight
false hope
that tomorrow
would be the today
that allowed me
to forget all that hurt me before

I do not blame you
it wasn't your love that oppressed me
it wasn't you
that lied to me
so you will never see my tears
you will never know
that they flow as freely as blood from a wound
and I use them to extinguish the fire's burn
you will never know
that you left me
as the charred remains of another night
alone again
still hurting
and not even the patchwork
of minutes and moments are enough
to fill the hollow hole
I am
