v1.
   My heart is littered with the empty carcass
   of a relationship gone bad
   Devoid of feeling and fears and empty
   of emotions I wish I still had
   An empty vessel that won't hold the tears
   of a love that made me sad

Ch.
   I need a love to fulfill me
   I need to be filled full of love

v2.
   Empty conversations are all that is left
   of what was you and I
   And when you ask me if I'm doing OK
   I tell you another empty lie
   There is an empty space between us
   that gets bigger with each goodbye

chorus

v3.
   Days of empty minutes that get longer
   because I'm not with you
   Sleepless nights of empty dreams remind me
   each morning that we are through
   I lay there alone in the dark wondering
   if you feel empty too...

chorus

fade

Your pain is palpable. It is a cliche to say this, too, will pass.  Sometimes it never goes away.  I am too much of a novice and am looking for too much help for myself to be critical but I really do feel that you have been honest and very moving in your writing.  I do hope I'm not just being taken in by a creative poet.  But, I feel for you.  Good luck.  Barbara

Your poem really moved me. I can relate to the feelings very well myself. The chorus in particular struck me. I have had feelings of late about needing to give love - but having no one to give it to. You talk of needing to be filled with love. Kind of the opposite spectrum but still being alone without sharing love. Thanks for sharing your poem. I think it is excellent.

I think at some time in our lives, we feel this loneliness.  We want, we reach and we seem to fall flat on our face in the process.  Stand up, brush yourself off and lift that head up high once again....

rascalx,
what a stunning song!

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
