hallow

he is a boy
different yet the same
a boy so young
sitting in the back of the class
if he did talk, he was silent
if he did breathe, his breath was hallow
his skin was soft and smooth
now folding and creasing from broken wood
cardboard pieces
shaping an empty mind
his color dull and light
he was sad
holding his ears behind the couch
tears sogging up his face
cardboard house
for my cardboard little boy
his walls so thin
the inside so hallow
if you've felt this pain so hallow
how should you look so different
as we shake with wooden fists
you kiss her with paper lips
your paper cheeks painted red
is this really real?
but your so empty
I feel sorry for her
as you slowly brake her deeper and deeper
your wooden
with a one track mind
riding in a direction far away from her
she was in the wrong place at the wrong time
caught between the crossfire
only helping cuz she's good
your wilted paper comes undone
as you fall deeper and deeper into nothing
the nothing surrounding your empty organs
where you in love?
or in love with her beating body?
the hot blood that tells you she's real?
where you even in love with me?
but now I see your empty cardboard
holding nothing but oxygen and carbon dioxide
I thought your heart was red with love
yet now I see is red with pain
