Empty Poem by Arik Fletcher

my heart is torn, my soul is bare,
my love is gone, no life to share,

in silent thought, my mind a-drift,
no love to hold, the shadows shift,

a rippled lake, my tortured soul,
in pain I cry, within this hole,

there is no light, no warmth inside,
my heart is black, alone I hide,

I have no love, I have no life,
no way to leave, or end this strife,

all hope is gone, my life is lost,
for precious love, my soul the cost,

please take me now, and end this night,
please take my life, and end this fight.
