EMPTY

Alone 

Sorrow sodden songs

Stir sweet thoughts of pain

Memories of cold Suns and Scorching rain

Of sweet kisses and Sour tongues

Empty silence filled with thoughts 

Of first hurts and deep cuts

Here, Midas Curse rusts

And Vinegar nourishes

Venus words sweet and wry 

My temple takes repeated shelling 

My heart caves in,bats' dwelling 

Emptiness Sired by Love's Lyre
 

Empty like the tomb on the third day

Like the wine has seeped away from the kegs

Through holes punctured by trust

All that is left are dregs

My Heart is Empty.
