Hollow Shell

“Hollow Shell” depicts the collapse of a person
as love gradually turns into control and violence.
It captures the moment when warmth becomes fear,
revealing that no one remains whole once love turns violent.

In the beginning, our days
were filled with nothing but light.
Every time your hand touched mine,
the world warmed a little more,
and the way you said my name
felt like a gentle tide around me.

We laughed without end,
walking side by side
without a shadow of doubt.
I never saw it then
the tiny fracture hiding beneath the glow.

But one day,
your eyes began to sharpen.
Words that once felt sweet
slowly tightened around me
like a loop I couldn’t see.

Even the smallest phrase
could anger you without warning,
and before I knew it,
I was blaming myself
for storms I didn’t create.

Your touch no longer brought comfort.
The sound of a closing door
made my whole body recoil,
and as I kept trying to match your voice,
I lost the shape of who I was.

“It’s for your own good.”
Those words carried a threat
I recognized far too late.
Speaking the way you wanted,
living the way you demanded,
I crumbled grain by grain like shifting sand.

Then, one night,
when your rage finally erupted,
I had no strength left to run.
In the shadows cast upon the wall,
the last trace of my voice
sank into the dark.

When everything finally collapsed,
our time shattered with it.
The face staring back at me
from the mirror
was someone I had never known,
and in your eyes,
I seemed destined to disappear from the start.

In the end, ruin
didn’t arrive in an instant.
It gathered slowly
layers of cracks piling upon each other
until we were both swallowed whole.

And in the place
where nothing but a hollow shell remained,
as the final remnants of us drifted away,
I finally understood
when love turns into violence,
no one walks out unscathed.

No one walks out unscathed.
No one walks out unscathed.

In the place
where nothing but a hollow shell remained,
I finally understood
when love turns into violence,
no one walks out unscathed.

No one walks out unscathed
No one
