Empty of you



The pain races

Quick to the spot

All my memories

Mean nothing to me

All I ever wanted to be

Is everything I’m too afraid to be



Loneliness , the solid wall

That keeps our secrets

Inside us all

How can you know me

How can you relate

So long as I stay behind

These eyes, these gates



The queer strength that resounds

Around inside of me

Oh it shines light, in the darkest

Corners of me

It says it’s the only way

To solidify weakness in me

That I can turn tears into pearls

That there is art in me



Why must I be afraid

Of what lies behind the curtain

Why must I fear

The sight of a gaping wound

In all my dreams I hear a voice

Saying I’m not ready

For a heart empty of you

Very heartfelt although the heart is gone in this poem. I always remember this line someone told me:

"Since Love was created, Pain was born as well."

Without pain, how will one truly understand what love is? Love sometimes hurts, that's how it is...

Great piece. Keep it up!
