My esophagus feels hollow
which makes no sense does it
it’s not a cavity but an empty artery
that’s supposed to be empty
so why the hollowness feels so alien
shuddering with my heartache
is a mystery even webMD can’t seem to solve.

Your poem made me think of that hollow feeling one has when they’ve lost a loved one…either due to death or just headed off with a new love…that empty feeling that extends for the chest all the way up into the mind…fine capture of those feelings.
