Empty poem

by Shah   Mar 27, 2021


Just a few sentences written
Feelings will stay unwritten

When you have nothing to say
And it hasn't been a good day

Empty thoughts filling the mind
Often in my brains they do grind

But there is nothing to gain here
Some pain which is left I do bear

As all the promises were unfilled
Dreams and emotions were killed

The one I used to see in high regard
Left me behind and put up her guard

Empty were my days which I spent
Alone I had to go through this torment

My new standard is sadness in life
Hopefully will be better in the afterlife

Expectations I do not have anymore
As things are not as they were before

I have learned to stop expecting anything
And try to live with what life does bring

To live from day to day and be ready
For the worst like I have seen already

Wishes, desires, longing and dreams
Are just a silky thread it now seems

Breakable and fragile with no guarantee
We don't believe but this is the reality

I learned this harsh lesson the hard way
As my faithfulness was met with foul play

Kept deceiving me from a safe distance
While seducing others with your brilliance

Made me feel as if she was waiting for me
While laying down with her husband to be

Promised to stay away from past mistakes
To keep us together with whatever it takes

In the end all the promises went in vain
I was fooled and betrayed once again

I saw it as my destiny to be hurt again
Pain swept me away like a hurricane

Since my days and nights are empty now
Thus I wrote this empty poem somehow

    A comment as empty as a poem per se
    Tis void of a sun on the cloudiest day
