It hurts

The rot

I feel it all crumbling away

My heart

My gut

The lines on my face sink

Into the empty inside of me

Like a balloon

Leaking air

Getting small

Sinking lower day by day

Why did you fill me up

Why did you let me fly so high

Only to watch me fall

And deflate

I should have popped

When I was still full

In a glorious boom

Shiny rubber stretched thin

So delicate

So vulnerable

I wish I had exploded

Into a hundred little pieces

No more hurt

Never empty

Only gone

It hurts

The empty

It hurts
