The hollow

The hollow within

Ah the hollow within

Is full of nameless sorrow within

The hollow within

Ah the hollow within

Is full of anguish within

The hollow within

Ah the hollow within

Is full of despair within

The hollow within

Ah the hollow within

Is full of insecurities within

The hollow within

Ah the hollow within

Is full of nameless horrors within

Shall I open this Pandora’s box

And release these hissing vipers

My friends in the hollow within

Nay I am reluctant to let go

Pain has become a dear friend

Lovingly nursed in the hollow within

Verily pain is such sweet sorrow

That where joy and pain overlap

Is indistinguishable in the hollow within!
