EMPTINESS


There is an empty space
within my heart,
ever since
you went away.
Where is the light
you brought to
me each day?


Emptiness is all I have
now that you are gone.
There is no-one to send
me sweet words of love
upon my waking morns.
Loneliness is the
only man I see.


My breaking heart
is not understanding
the reality,
of how you rejected me.
But why can't this
emptiness leave me alone,
and help me to
forget you my dear?
Why is there an emptiness
without you?
