Emptiness*

Alas

As I stood at the top of the tower

A light breeze rustling the crimson folds

Of my evening dress

I thought of you

And down I tumbled

Twisting

Turning in the air

Only to fall onto hard cobble stones

Rejected

Shunned

An outsider

You're not here

And I know

I can feel it deep inside me

And I know

That you're gone

So there's an emptiness in my heart

A hollow where you used to fit

That heart of mine doesn't beat any more

Like yours

Torn on the battle-field

Like yours

Strewn on the ground

Like you,

I died that day
