Lover Without Love Poem by Marijke McKinney

We've got words without meaning
Lovers without love
Sadness without feeling
We've got so much
And it all means nothing

Hollow words that fill up hopes
A density of false echoes
Give me handfuls of air
I’ll breathe in what’s not there

I love you so you say
Looking through the glass faces we see
I love you so I say
Forming something we wish could be

It’s so sad when feeling has diminished
We cry to feel alive
Suffer from the misleading
Of our pitiful nothings

Peace with death
What a half filled world
We sink when we have risen
My lover with out love
