Marty King Poet Free verse

My Mind Is Empty

my mind is empty
sinking and shrinking
i am lacking fulfillment
thinking and thinking
of you

i was once a superstar
aching with desire for
every moment of life
all the colors i embraced
emphatically

one day you just up and 
changed your mind and 
disappeared like a ghost
spooked by progression

the suddenness of it all
left me in a forest full of
lost....i knew nobody and 
and i had not one friend but
you

now i sit in an empty room of
sadness and gloom....and wonder
why....as my mind becomes emptier
than abandonment in sheer darkness
