An Empty Shell Poem by James Callos Jordan

How love could deceive people
Makes me feel jittery.

Falling in love with a person
Without spending time together,
Is like eating an ice cream
Without even tasting it.

Ah… A realization popped.
I was stupid and weak.
How could this be even worse?
Yeah I forgot; False Promises.

Well I can’t blame anyone
Except for me giving my all;
Trust, understanding, patience
And for her saying “I’m not ready”

A thought of her grinds me
Because I wasted a great dream.
Now I’m just left
With an empty shell.
