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.
