the hallow word
Happy 
 has transformed into 
 a hallow word
 A cavity gone unfilled
 It is a void of emptiness, 
 the 
 Keeper of 
 unexplained 
 darkness that
 Guards the hiccups 
 of light 
 A locked cellar door
  that opens 
 For no one 
 This word was once 
 defined as
 Expressing 
 joy
 Causing joy or 
 gladness or to be
 Cheerful and willing 
 Marked by 
 pleasure 
 Now we use this
  word as a 
 Gravestone 
 To hide ourselves
  into the
 Pit of despair 
 This word has 
 Become a shield to
  block
 The melancholy from
 Showing inside 
 of dreary eyes
 The drawing swords strive 
 For the kill of 
 joyous words to
 Leave the
  bleeding hearts 
 With tissues to put 
 Pressure on the
  wound 
 Wrapped in a
  blanket 
 Of numerous nails.
