Empty Pedestal
An empty pedestal where you once stood
Now fills this lonely room
Where once was light, that shone so bright
Stands hollow, with loss and gloom
A stranger in a foreign land
Destined to lose his way
A barren heart, that will not start
Has died a little more today
The weeping willow where we first met
Has no more tears to cry
It's branches bare, without you there
Has withered and began to die
Your memory now a distant dream
That haunts me as I sleep
I wake each night, you're not in sight
And my soul begins to weep
An empty pedestal where you once stood
Stands broken and torn apart
A barren place, without your face
This pedestal I call my heart
