A hollow tree is empty like me.
leaving me left me in ruins, what was once lively and colorful
is now dead and dark.
going away
you foced me down the wrong path
and now I must wonder
through the darkness in searh of light.
you left me clueless of why you left,
but your gone and not coming back.
my heart was with you when we met,
but you stole it when you left.
you left me empty like a hollow tree.

ok first, let me say I loved this!! Now I will make a suggestion only meant to be helpful, you do it how you want to....the suggestion is so that when others read it, they can follow it easier....

try writing it like this:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"A hollow tree
is empty like me.
leaving me left me in ruins,
what was once lively and colorful
is now dead and dark.
going away
you forced me down
the wrong path and now I must wonder
threw through the darkness in searh of light.
you left me clueless of why you left,
but your gone and not coming back.
my heart was with you when we met,
but you stole it when you left.
you left me empty
like a hollow tree."

-mateusz-

I thought this was great the way you used the metaphor of a hollow in comparison to yourself, although it isn't great that you're feeling this way. I guess it's one of those things that is part of life's package.

I'd have to agree with the format SEA suggested. It's much easier to read as a poem. -smile-

I was curious to know about this line:
{threw through the darkness in searh of light.}- the "threw" didn't make much sense in this context, and I was wondering if it was supposed to be there?

Other than that, it was nice reading something from you! Keep up the good work!


Q.u.e.t.h.

Everything in between...
