Hollow

I once gave you my heart.

You took it gladly; it was yours to keep. But when it was your turn to give, you also chose to keep.

I became the hollow half, the one that gave it all and received nothing but promises, wishes, illusions, longings, expectations… hollow.

I was yours; I felt even more yours than mine, and even so… I could never call you mine.

I once gave you my heart, and that also never came back.
