in any of the rooms of 
somebody else’s empty heart,
you should know 
first you have to sweep...

If you want to weep 
in any of the rooms 
of my empty heart,
and as all the boarders 
between them are porous
you can weep in chorus...

I went to call
Hung up
Thought again
Tried once more

My mouth
was dry
It thirst
for water

My lungs
Colapsed
From your
Empty heart...

in any of the rooms 
of my empty heart
You are lucky enough
to have four choices
And don’t be afraid
nobody hear our voices...

of beauty your pupils yearn for,

from the atrocious abundant fog
that gathered and settled around your heart.

A heavy ear
an empty heart
Breathless voice
with eyes that dart
Love forsaken
rebirthing pain
Hope redundant
—lost refrain

Tell it to my eyes soaked with tears 
and my sobbing chest. 
To my mind heavy with thoughts 
and to my pieces of empty heart.
And my soul shot dead.

Grief

Oh my sore broken and empty heart 
has been rudely and coldly laid bare,
yet I know that grief is not the loss of love;
grief is proof that love still abides there....

Empty house
Empty bed
Empty heart
Empty head
Myself rattling
About within
        My skin...
Find the key...Somebody, quick!
So happiness]Can move in
With me
Again!

Empty Heart

Oh, Rose so beautiful and pure
And when your petals open
Now tainted must endure
And like the petals wither
And  does love in your heart
When nurturing 
And caring are forgot...

Cupids arrow, 
a true delight of all lovers,
Cupids arrow, 
an empty heart it will ignite,
sparking the passion and desire,
rekindling the iciest fire,
Cupids arrow.

A hole in my heart
The beach that’s empty at night
Timeless interlude
Purpose of an empty heart
I fold my arms in disgust

How I wish to live a life, like any child of naughty five
Cry and smile with an empty heart, and sleep at night without hurts
Ah! how many springs passed through me, still I longed to have one more....

THIS EMPTY HEART MISSING YOU

I slip out 
of my heart
and there I am
naked; moaning
for your love over,
and over sipping
sake without a full
moon to fill 
this empty heart
missing you with
no will to survive....

Darkness falls upon my face. 
Sad eyes with no grace.
Endless tears. 
wasted years.
Endless halls with empty walls. 
A void no one can replace.
 A frozen picture, Faded with time.
empty heart, empty mind....

She stands, hallowed in sunlight, no, limelight
Waving manicured hands at screaming fans
Smiling at the flashbulbs
Empty eyes not really seeing
Empty mind not really comprehending
Empty heart constanlty weeping....

 The roses are dead
And the violets are too
Happy Valentine's.

My cold empty heart
Is but a barren wasteland
No more room for you.

Goodbye my lover
But perhaps we'll meet again 
In a dream some day ...

A hollow prayer for what cannot be:
A distant day when you, again, I see.
My empty heart yet yearns for you around
Though now you wear a devil’s crown.
Farewell my love, alas adieux, my queen
Eternity has come between....

Jessie! I would have filled
your empty heart with my overflowing love
if you had but caught it when I poured!
But, alas! Your arms lie at your sides!
And your face flinches not as
my last drop of blood drips
into emptiness!...

There was a time
I sat alone

empty heart
broken soul

I spoke not
for words escaped me

my fingers trembled
bones all aching

I thought it better
for no one to know

I wanted to leave
but had no where to go

If you want to weep 
in any of the rooms 
of my empty heart,
Don’t worry
But feel free;
I know that the rooms
seem to be dreary,
Once you happen to be 
in one of them,
they will be brightened up
and you will feel fairly happy...

My
home
empty
nest, no chirps
birds have gone away.
Sometimes friends show up to party
Only I know how happy I feel inside my heart.
When grandkids come, in long awaited dreams, their plays and laughter serenades my empty heart....

Loneliness has faded away; Joy now boldly shining through
Once an empty heart is now filled to the top with a lusty haze
Velcro is jealous of how close we are to one another
Eternity will be over before our hearts go their separate ways...
