false hope and regret
are pulled from the
stale air within an old
fridge, to fill me like
i'm a particularly lonely
cup, slowly spilling
onto the undeserving
countertop and
staining my
glass skin

i shake off the feeling
of emptiness that
comes with them

i am not empty
anymore, after all
i am full of things
i never asked for
things i'm afraid
to let go of

i don't want to
be empty again

i wouldn't call it poetryWhere stories live. Discover now
