Christine A Kysely Poet Lyric

Something To Hold Onto

I thought that there was something there
Something to hold onto
I had reached out my open hand
To an emptiness I did not seek to find

Empty words in empty air
Oceans of lonely time
Promises never spoken
A loss of the true sublime

An emptiness is all I feel
An emptiness inside
My missing half that had been found
Now has left me without a sound

I shall retreat back to the safety of me
Hold up my inner mirror to really see
If any real damage has been done
Has love's battle been fought and won

I shall rebuild my fotress strong and tall
My castles in the the air
God help the next person who tries to dare
To scale these walls without a care

Nothing is as nothing seems
Words that come easily have no meaning
And when spoken with no feeling
Silence has more worth.
