M's Poetry
Empty Room
It's been a while since they took you away
the bed looks lonely and I feel empty
it's where you drew your last breath
all the sadness that hung in the air and the tears were wept
it is all over now and I am the only one left
alone with my thoughts oh how I still feel close to you
but my eyes can't imagine.... it's just me here now
sitting in this cold empty room
tears well I can't cry no more
and pain is something I embrace because at least I am alive
you left me and I never really came back
maybe it was my pride, maybe I was scared
because I couldn't handle the disease you had
how I loved you once I realized did never fade
it is alive and well and clearly right in the present
only the words came too late
an empty room is all I am left with
all I hear is the ticking of the clock
and silence that is my token company.
