Empty Glass 07 Poem by Kira Bloom

My mind is so full
But my heart seems so numb
Swept away by all that has come and gone
The words are on the tip of my tongue
Still I am silenced by fear
That they are all the wrong ones
The past swims in an empty glass
I fill it again praying its contents may
Ease this task
That perhaps someday
I might finally remove the mask
And revive my heart at last
I fear loneliness is my path
No matter the longings in my core
This is the wrong score
There is only one I adore
I am tormented by the words I have yet to sort
Haunted by the eyes that once looked in love
And will now look with scorn
How far will we be torn
I fill this glass again
Postponing the fate I abhor
