Love Poem: Empty

Written by: Courtney Dyer

Empty

Emptiness engulfs my vacant adornment
Full of cob webs and dust, decaying like rotten flesh
Decadance has faded
All that remains is a hollow, benign shell
Dreams have faded
Only nightmares left
Or worse dreamless nights
Absent of thought and memories
Drowning in a slumber chamber
Full of nothing
Comprehension abates
Poetic utterances do not clarify 
What can only be a mystery
Shadows keep hidden what must not be revealed
The unveiling is yet to come
Lack of sincerity amongst onlookers
Keeps the waters stagnant
The occasion somber
Complacency stirs up rage
Bitterness accumulates into a fiery inferno
Injustice leads to victory
Her wrath keeps her afloat
