Patricia Leduc Poet Free verse

Empty Space

  Empty Space

Where my heart was
There is an empty space
I leave it that way
Just in case

I find one
To replace
The one you stole
From me

Look me in the eye
Look at my face
This is a condition
Only you can erase

Give back my heart
You broke it apart
Now let your love
Be the glue

To start the repair
Then put it back where
The empty space
Holds its place

Without it I am empty
Without you I am empty
I’m holding a space
For you

Silent One January 31, 2018 at 5:01 PM This pulls at the heart strings... Instead of using I do not know, you can change this to a free verse.. most poems come under free verse.. Any questions please feel free to ask.. always happy to help.. Patricia Leduc February 21, 2018 at 8:13 PM I did change it. I am still learning. Thanks for your help :))

David Smith January 15, 2018 at 6:34 AM Good poetry always comes from the heart and brings with it the passion of the owner. You score on both counts. You may or may not know it but by putting this poem out there your confidence levels will only have increased. Expect to see more poems on wide range of topics. Best regards David in NZ Patricia Leduc January 16, 2018 at 3:01 PM So grateful for your comments :)
