An Empty Cup

My heart has dealt with so many tears The loss of love through out the years A mother a father two brothers are gone What love do I have left to go on My heart has been emptied of lost love How can I fill my empty cup that once was A call I cannot make and a letter I cannot send Just my empty voice calling for their love I can only write words of heartbreak to those who are not here Who have taken my love to a place far beyond, I still shed a tear Years of happiness now just memories of lost ones How could they have left me alone with this empty cup of love They celebrated my birth and I morn their death Unspoken words I cannot say for their ears Can no longer hear these last words I wanted to say My family I will be with you one day Wait for me my family for someday I will be on my way and once again you will fill my cup with love

A quiet agony pours through this, that I, too have felt, and which you have been able to capture with such tenderness. Oh, the Sorrow!

Hi Bobby, This touching and moving write brought tears to my eyes. I can relate so, oh how I long to call my dad or hug him. I just want to tell him that I love him. I think about him often. I still think he's still loving me from his new home. Your write touching me deeply-Alexis
