EMPTINESS

TITLE TELLS THE STORY

"

 

EMPTINESS

An emptiness engulfs me.

I’m feeling so all alone.

Suns rays no longer warm me.

I’m chilled right to the bone.

 

I’m searching for your body.

What once I knew was near.

Seems as I reach out for you .

Your breathing I can hear.

 

But its only your pillow

That comforts me now.

Trying hard to forget you

But really don’t know how.

 

Your scent I can't diminish

It permeates my very soul.

Your not a dying ember

But a burning piece of coal.

 

I have tried so very hard

To get you off my mind.

But this damn memory

Is not so very kind.

 

The lord gave us a memory

So we would not forget.

Wish sometimes it would fade

Then change to a living vignette
