Empty lines


Empty lines on a piece of paper
A pen full of ink
A heart full of pain
Can place a mind in a kink

Mixed up messages
Sent by mistake
Can kill a dream
It’s more than I can take

Lost and no where to be found
Walking in the pouring rain alone
Not caring what happens now
For you are alone and I am gone

It won’t matter in the morning
For I won’t be walking on this ground
I have nothing to stay around for
When morning breaks I won’t be found

You have made it plain for me to read
You have written it upon the wall
No more pen to paper shall I do
I will find myself a hole in which to fall

It hasn’t been a good day
The night just went to heck
I wish now, well I won’t say
I am just tired of my heart picking up the check

Great piece Alan. Some great lines there:

A pen full of ink
a heart full of pain

I'm just tired of my heart picking up the check

Bad night huh? But good poetry  

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

"I am just tired of my heart picking up the check"

That is quite a line. I sure hope there is still a balance left in that account, because there will no doubt be another heart for you to 'spend' time with, and maybe your balance will double next time.

Tracey..since you asked...

My life is empty of you
A brand new view
I shall live alone
pretty soon I shall just be gone

Midnitesun...I am not sure I want another check...think I'll pack my heart in ice..

I like that line

A brand new view

(Possibly a better view over the horizon)

Pretty soon I shall just be gone

Well, her loss. Just so long as you won't be gone from passions. Always enjoy listening to your pen
