Horror Hollow
When reality strikes in
that sickening way
Familiarity and happiness
reduces to far away
No disguise or prettiness
like blue sky
Only unsmiling starkness,
the site of cry
Terror strikes with its
cold river pushing thru’
No easy breathing, the
world slowing too
To faint is the conclusion
unless strength fights an illusion
Grip of alone as
imagination suffocates thru’ fear’s intrusion
The world creaking as
leaden footsteps follow
Prayer and wishing,
grabbing onto anything to fill the horror hollow
Why me, why now, the shout
from far below
A voice never heard before
without courage to show
This world of billions
reduced to an emotional scream
Hot cold fright as so loud
the telephone shrill
Darkness is infinity when
eternity is reality
Will survival reach the
morning light and bring tranquility?
