Hollow Inside

I used to feel bad when you'd glare,
i'd look in the mirror and actually care.
Though lately i've come to realize,
I shouldn't because you're just hollow inside.

No soul, no heart no brains,
You just want to cause everyone pain.
No love no feelings no emotions at all,
you used to make me feel so small.

But I don't,
I don't I don't have to take this.
i don't,
I don't, I don't want your kiss.

My skirt will stay right there in its place,
no I won't look at your face.
Your eyes are cold and calculated,
my body is trembling because you seem agitated.

I won't let you take me ever again,
I refuse to be condemned.
But your eyes, your eyes can hold something more,
a lie you tell to make me stop reaching for the door.

There's a gleam that tells me you're proud,
I retract my hand from the knob even though everything feels so loud.
Maybe, just maybe i'll give you one more day,
maybe, just maybe i'll be content to stay.

I'll stay until i'm just like you,
hurting people because there's nothing else for me to do.
I'll love you until my heart is gone,
i'll love you so that I can become your pawn.

And before I know it,
there's no where to hide,
before I know it,
i'm hollow inside.
