Tears and empty walls
Silence calls and emptiness echoes
Loneliness flows deep
Into solitude filled seas
Carried on excluded breezes
If life’s worth living
Why won’t life live me
If love I have
It should have me
If we’re together
Is together meant to be
Because the emptiness
Takes a hold of me
Eating insides out
Gasping to breathe
Taking in wispy breaths
Then, drawn out sighs
Here at home
My loneliness never hides
But, it resides here
Accompanied by tears
And empty walls
Here silence calls
And it knows me…
By name.
