The Shores of Alone

Empty

Wine glass, etched with hearts
meant to toast love
empty-gathering dust.

Queen size bed, lace edged, satin touched
waiting for a prince
his side is empty.

Heart of love, once so full
with hopeful dreams and passions fire
empty

though oddly, it still beats.
all of me empty
without him...

Staggering in lost love, your words so clearly exploit the pain. Very Good!

Though oddly, it still beats.  How surprising it is when we find our hearts beating alone in the emptiness.  Enjoyed.

Hey lady! (been awhile, but I'm still hanging around!) Sad, but loved your comparisons...but there's hope--you cannot fill a thing that's full, yes? YES.  
HUGS. Hope you are well!

Your writing brings out the sadness of the words and the pain and loneliness.  Yes, his side of the queen size bed may be empty, but hopefully you will find someone new  and you will feel better.

Sandra,
     The desolation of feeling "empty" leaves our hearts in such turmoil and angst, which you have captured so perfectly and sadly, beautifully in this piece.
    Love, Elise

Hey Sandra...it's good to see you around here again, but not good to see you sad like this...but wonderful expression of these emotions...take care...

sp  

to be with you...
I've tried to hide my passion,
but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk in the room...
