There is no more of myself that I can give too you
for all that I gave you… you threw away
now all that is left me
these empty arms…
too greet each waking day.
When you held me close you held my heart
I felt so safe wrapped warm in your love
the sunlight felt brighter
my moods so much lighter
but then all that we knew came undone.
We drifted to places met many new faces
till my heart was empty of hope
lustful liaisons' …velvet lined curtains
anything… that helped me to cope.
I then looked in the mirror and saw only my shadow
loneliness was all that was near
leaving only the silence to whisper all once had
and a future filled with loves' tears.
