Emptiness

Love that once consumed my life,
has gone and taken my tomorrow.
Strangely not smiling makes me happy,
as numbness relieves pain and sorrow.

Empty shell left behind lay broken,
feelings now exposed waiting to die.
Spirit and zest for living gone forever,
vanish in the blink of an eye.

Nights are now full of fearful dreams,
time motionless with nowhere to go.
Rhythm of my heartbeat is out tune,
almost silent, it beats much too slow.

Your love, it was my reason to live,
this empty shell will soon break in two.
Life does not seem to be worth living,
I put so much faith in loving you..

What do I do with this shattered heart,
the only thing you left here with me?
Time always stands still in sadness,
prisoner of love you took from me.
