I am haunted by your absence, the other end of the couch sings of its emptiness in your voice. The memory of your laughter echoes through the emptiness of my heart and my head. How can I concentrate on my ambitions When tears slide down the inside of my chest, where nobody can see them. This hollowness inside me feels unfillable, like knocking on my chest will forever reveal its hollow ring. I have nothing to eat but air, and nothing to sit on but warm ash. |

Last two lines are about how nothing is fulfilling and life is unpleasant having lost Allison.
Like feeling uncomfortable and wanting to change positions, but no position is comfortable.
I considered changing the second emptiness to hollowness or expanse.
But then I decided to use hollow later in the poem and was happy with using emptiness twice as originally written.
