An Empty Heart

I'm tired of writing poetry of the mind
Thoughts are empty and so unkind
It questions the heart and ways of love
It tears us down from Heaven above

But it's hard to write of things you don't know
You can't be honest, it's just for the show
Because how can an empty heart
Tell you that it's not apart?

When all of love has proved disappointment
And love is happiness and you avoid it
The joy too little, the pain too overwhelming
And you chose to shut out all the feelings

But what an empty life without fullfilment
Without a fight, a try for some improvement?
Is love out there? Can it be?

Is there truly someone out there waiting for me?

Perhaps this will help you decide on whether or not to risk being injured by love

When you are but old and feeble
with your grandchild upon your knee
Tell your stories, of life's glories
show him the scars so he can see

A life spent cowering from pain
will so leave you aching inside
The best gift you'd miss, from life's kiss
knowing you never even tried

Thanks =D

Yeah, what you say is very true.

I have this quote, too, that I always keep at the back on my mind :P

'Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!'- Hunter S. Thompson

But I suppose you already know that...

Yes I say live it to the limit chase it's tail till you tire. Spend everything you have saved in the end and pay for the finally with a check thats bounces lol

lol, yeah

you have one life.
Live it, use it, tire it, empty it, as long as you don't leave it there waiting.

but in the end remember you come last


Don't wait till your life is all doneread morebut in the end remember you come last


Don't wait till your life is all done
to learn the lessons of a fool
Know the rewards of self are none
where love of others is the rule
