Empty Remains




~ Empty Remains ~


Deep in the darkness my heart still sees
the shadows of night, portrayed
within the memories of the past...
Impressions reflected, bequeathed by shadows,
mirrored by deceptions, covered in pain--
In the realms of the mind;
The mirror of the soul--
Through the depths of frustration,
in the midst of anger--
Silent tears burning deep inside,
emptying the soul, feelings drained,
devoid of spirit, depleted in strength--
The remains of laughter
long forgotten with shadows
of pain taking its place.
The essence of being no longer present--
Buried within, layer upon layer.
Shadows forsaken
in the minds' collection,
hollowed through by spoken silence--
Speaking louder then the
sound of words... Merely voiced--
Constricting silence binding the soul,
in draining confusion, betrayals of trust.
The depths of silence sears the soul,
in wakes of abandon,
caressing softly whispers of the spirit.
