 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Emptiness


The empty rooms echo silence.
My heart-beat... a hollow sound.
Laughter echos around my head,
In this emptiness that i've found.

Smiles, always around me.
A day, just another day.
My loving wife, my beautiful child,
....so... so much more to say.

Now only silence.
My heart-beat the only sound.
Never, will I see their smiles again,
Nor hear their footsteps all around.

Another bomb exploded!
.... their bodies blown apart.
Now all i have is the silence,
echoing around my heart.


Dedicated to all that suffer
at the hands of killers that
claim their prize in the name of God...
