The eyes
Will shy away
From my flesh and face,
Not that they don’t already
Your fading wings of white will turn
Leave me begging
Alone
Hallow me
Don’t hollow me.
One last serration let me have it
These bloody tears my skin cries when she opens her eyes
They don’t mean I’m in pain
They don’t
I swear this time
They don’t.
I am not hurting I will plead
Pretending still
Smiling still
Don’t leave me here
I won’t get better if you go
I won’t
I swear this time
I won’t.

I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had. - Gary Jules, Mad World.

Sounds supiciously like a cry for help that someone is too proud to say aloud.  That's just coming from my angle, however.  And more often than not it doesn't matter what the words are, but what the reader gets from those words. This is just my roundabout way of saying that I liked it.

Painful, sorrowful, stirring.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

I really loved the first 3 lines but this one was my favorite:


One last serration let me have it


It is always a smart move to brace yourself.

Great work Hollow!

The purest of hearts almost beg for the serrations, huh? That's cause those not in the know will never realize that we are becoming used to it...getting stronger with each blow to the heart. Eventually you can risk it all with a smile because your strength in soul will never be easily serrated. It makes the trying fun. This was simply amazing, Hollow... LOVED THE PUN, BTW ~ "Hallow me... Don't Hollow me" GREAT!
