Empty Tears (poem)
She climbed into her lonely bed
Her fantasies still fresh in head
So empty are the tears she shed
Another dream she had instead
-
Her heart repeats each word he said
Sweet promises her soul was led
In paradise the sun was spread
As waves caressed the shore
-
Tomorrow’s hope he did imbed
Believe in me were thoughts he pled
How could she leave where would she go
When here was what they said search for
-
Then came the instant all was shred
Was it his eyes that gave it away
Or was it some misbegotten word
She didn’t know She didn’t know
-
All she can remember was
Going for something in her purse
Something to quickly end it all
Before running to the safety of her home
-
She climbed into her lonely bed
Her mind mending what just happened
So empty are the tears she shed
Perhaps this madness was just a dream
