Emptiness Poem by Karissa Earley

I stare into this darkness,
hoping him i'll find.
But I can't see anything,
he's caused me to go blind.

I think my heart is missing,
or maybe it's just dead.
I'm falling into an emptiness,
I'm hanging by a thread.

I walk our old path,
hoping I'll see his face.
But I don't see him anywhere,
I've finally been replaced.

I wish he could see,
the tears he's made fall.
I'm waiting by the phone,
but still he does not call.

I crawl into bed,
I turn out the lights.
I cry I'm alone,
he's holding her tonight.

I die when I look at his status,
I guess they're getting married.
I didn't thnk it would end like this,
that I'd be the one getting burried.

It was all my fault;
I let him down.
I couldn't do it by myself,
couldn't hold our love above the ground.

I'll let him be,
let him close the door.
I'll let him live his life,
even if it means I'm left sore.
