HOLLOW MANEntry #454827
HOLLOW MAN



Six decades and more I lived.
I have learned and I’ve earned.
I gave my all to others.
By them I have been spurned.

Now that my step is slow and
My each breath is laboured,
I feel I am a marked man.
My days are now numbered.

But as I trudge along my
Uncertain weary ways,
Do I carry the burden
Of those my youthful days?

No, I have no pain in heart,
No hatred no rancour.
I have no feelings of love,
Nor do I have anger.

My heart is now devoid of
All feeling and sadness.
I am just a hollow man
With a tinge of madness.
