A Letter of Emptiness

cracked and cracking
my hands dry, they bleed
dripping drip dry
blood stained tears I cry
stained by the pain of a broken heart
broken hope
killed by you, dream killer
liar, lie after lousy lie
my promises meant nothing to you
I promised you forever
I gave you my soul
to love, to cherish, to hold
now, take a look at me
look at the nothing that is left
too dead even for death
and I cry in the mist of misery’s breath
for an angel of mercy to come
to save me from the me that I am
the me that you made
empty empty me
drowning in this sea of hopelessness
slowly dissolving away
into the dust of loneliness
to become nothing more than the ashes of a memory.
