I Want To Leave This Hollow

 

Roaming about this little hollow

I find nothing I can swallow.

There might be a berry or two

But there is only you.

You’re on my mind day and night.

I try to reach you with all my might.

There is one little problem.

A question I can’t fathom.

Why must there be bond and free?

I cannot get my head around it.

It drives me into a fit.

One day God, you’ll let me see

Why I came out of a tree.

But today  a game I must play

I may find you some way.

Help me  to swallow.

I want to leave this hollow.
