Empty Rooms Remain (Break Up Version)
[Verse 1]
In a room full of people,
I feel all alone.
Sitting at this party —
I’m invisible without you.
Pictures of us on the wall
quietly mock me now.
So I laugh too loud,
trying to drown the sound.
Everywhere I go,
I feel like a stranger.
Barely hanging on —
and I don’t think I can for long.
[Pre-Chorus]
Life used to whisper softly,
now she’s just noise in my ear.
[Chorus]
Your eyes took you away,
and sent me straight to hell.
You kissed me that morning —
I didn’t know it meant goodbye.
They say crying helps —
a blind cliché that can’t reach my pain.
Farewell, my love…
empty rooms remain.
[Verse 2]
Sometimes love lasts a lifetime,
but when it’s gone,
the hurt lasts longer.
You left so quickly,
and I’m drowning slow.
I dream of you at night —
then wake to the same nightmare.
Invisible. Unheard.
And so misunderstood.
[Bridge]
Hope is fragile —
a glass in my shaking hands.
But I still can’t let go,
of a half-believed fantasy.
Was this dream a lie,
or something worse?
You left us at the heaven’s door,
and I’m still cursed.
[Final Chorus]
Your heart took you away,
and sent me straight to hell.
You kissed me that morning —
I didn’t know it meant goodbye.
They say crying helps —
a blind cliché that can’t reach my pain.
Farewell, my love…
empty rooms remain.
[Outro]
In the echoes of laughter,
I find your ghost.
Among these shadows,
I’m missing you the most.
The nights are getting longer,
but memories still fly —
and somewhere deep inside,
I’m learning how to say goodbye.

' I find your ghost among these shadows, I’m missing you the most. ' These ' Empty rooms remain. ' Sadness lingers within, with so many different emotions, indeed. Your thoughts always tug deeply at the heartstrings. A belated congratulations Lyric Man, on Poem of the Day. Hugs, Brandy

Hello LM, Congrats on POTD! Listening to your piece felt like walking through silence that refuses to stay quiet. It made me think about how memory can be both a comfort and a wound and how it lingers even when we try to move forward. Sitting with the truth is sometimes the most challenging part, not the leaving, but learning how to live inside what’s left behind. Excellent. Autumn Blessings, LM, Daniel

Powerful, piercing, poignant, painful. If we introspect, despondent loneliness, which relates to attachment and vibrant aloneness having to do with being divine entwined are at opposite ends of the spectrum, though outwardly they may look similar. Loss of a dear one is always difficult. Thanks for sharing your lovely poem, Lyric Man. Warmest congratulations on POTD.
