Emptiness and Despair


 

A hollow heart with a void to fill,

drained by heartless actions,

and empty words which kill.

 

How I dread the this emotional sled,

as it leaves me bleeding,

numb left for dead.

 

The pain the pressure,

nearly lost my will,

yearning for the agony to stop,

I took several pills. 

 

A tongue can be a weapon disguished by a smile,

with slings and arrows attached,

it may hurt for a while.

 

So beware,

take care,

put Homeland Security in place,

guard your heart like Fort Knox,

for the fox lay in wait.

 

Give a little,

take little,

but not the whole ball of wax,

this has been my experience,

I'm just stating the facts.
