EMPTY HEART
Empty, Empty, Empty heart,
Dead emotions torn apart.
Fierce and hungry, all alone,
Hatred hidden; rarely shone.
Why so lost? Why so lonely?
Considered content with myself only.
Love is distant and untrue,
All my trust was put in you.
Now I resist, refuse to connect,
I've learned from pain
And harsh neglect.
If you really, truly care,
Your true soul you must bear.
~Yvonne Renee Moore
