Hollowed

Posted on

hollow tree

On the surface

Embellishments adorn you

Reflecting on your own reflection

Bouncing rays of admiration

Throwing out shiny lures

To feed the braggadocio

But I see through you, my friend

You are pitted

Character is simulated

Substance has been excavated

All that matters, taken

All that remains, meaningless

You are hollow

  2. We definitely were on the same wave length. Your poem is descriptive. I feel the emptiness and chill.
