The Hollow Pumpkin

The season changed and so did you

Growing cold and flicking me away

As if I was just a fly that flew 

Too close to your nose

And as golden leaves fall to the ground, 

Sometimes I feel like I did too

I thought you would catch me

knowing that I was the one 

who helped you up in the first place

But you didn't, of course

In fact, you did the opposite

You pushed me farther into the ground

And now it's like my guts have been 

carved out of my stomach 

Like a hollow pumpkin

And now you're here again

Trying to take it all back

As if you really cared

But no

All you ever cared about was attention 

And validation

So just as you would think

No

I don't forgive you

Use those carving tools on yourself for

a change, see what it feels like

It might do you some good

  • As if

    We sit alone together 

    Pretending to be something we wish we were

    Not liking the something we are

    Because, maybe pretending to be something  we're not

    Will fix all our issues

  • Shadow

    I trudged behind you,

    eyes locked with your back.

    I'd gotten unpleasantly comfortable

    letting you take the lead.

    Sometimes I felt like an actor,

    playing the part of your shadow.
