Hollow

Since I've been here, whenever anyone thumps me on the back or baps me anywhere along the ribcage, it's sounded hollow. Most of the time, when you thump someone along their back or ribcage, you get at least a thunk noise, a solid noise of flesh hitting flesh but I have none of that. No, I just sound hollow. As if someone has stolen my lungs and I can't breathe here. As if someone has stolen my heart and I'm not living, just drifting like a ghost from day to day. It's like some pieces parts are missing and I'm incomplete up here, unfinished, missing the things that make me real, that make me human, that make me me.

Sad thing is I know who has taken my breath away and stolen my heart - he's just in Nashville where I can't get to him.
