To Be Hollow

author unknown

How do you master blocking off a memory
When you smell a familiar scent?
I wonder, what makes feelings fall off like dried leaves?

How do you rip it off—
as if no single heartbeat has been left?
Did you hide it so deep and got lost finding it?

How could your tears fall
and not feel any pain?

When do you stop hoping?
That the next one is the last;
What's the sign that you finally realize
That forever doesn’t last?

Which one is worth the time—
Worth the touch,
worth the kiss,
worth days and the night.

Did you lose it?
How did you finally get tired of it—
When did you give up from wanting more?
(How about quitting from giving more?)

How do I stop the voice?
...from wanting it to be you?
