The Empty Book

Opening your book only to see
Teardrops of loneliness dripped upon page one
Your biography has been emptied of love
The Contents includes the first chapter of loss

The autograph that was placed within is disappearing
Your pictures are fading away with your words
This history of life has become only empty memories
Your cover has become hard your binding glue melting away

Life without meaning joy without feeling
This your last book for you have been sold out
No reprints will ever be made you are at a loss for words
This author will never return

WoW! Bobby, You have penned such a sad and heart wrenching write. I could feel an intense sadness and loneliness. The words you chose painted a clear picture. Stellar content as well- Alexis
