EMPTY HEART

WHEN A HEART IS EMPTY AND COLD,

WHAT MATTERS THEN AT ALL?

IT MAKES ONE NEED SOMEONE TO HOLD,

OR SOMEONE THEY COULD CALL

FOR COMFORT AND UNDERSTANDING,

AND EVEN LOVE FROM A FRIEND,

UNTIL THE HEART FILLS UP AGAIN,

AND IS COMPLETELY ON THE MEND.

WHEN ONE'S HEART IS SO EMPTY,

IT MAKES THE BLOOD RUN COLD.

IT MAKES TEARS FALL FROM THE EYES,

AND BREAKS EVERY MOLD

THAT ONE HAS SHAPED IN ONE'S LIFE

TO HOLD THAT LOVE, SO FINE.

THE MOLD HAS BEEN BROKEN WITH STRIFE,

AND LOVE HAS POURED OUT, JUST AS WINE.

THE HEART IS EMPTY, THE HEART IS COLD,

IT IS A MIRACLE THAT IT STILL BEATS,

BUT ONE MUST BE FORWARD AND BOLD,

AND LOOK FOR SOMEONE NOT FILLED

WITH DECEIT.
