Love Poem: Empty Heart

Empty Heart

The night was dark imparted
 sun set on the empty hearted;

Slipping into a deeper blackened sleep
 as cold swept along the bed to creep.

Empty covers tossed and turned
 love awaited was late learned;

In the dreams came nightmares passed,
 scary, frightening, unmasked.

Too cold the night, too dark the lonely heart
 when lovers drift away, further apart.

The morning sun rose pale and yellowed
 into a sky once blue now sallowed.

Too late the dreams had taken hold
 gathering a fevered frenzy bold.

Racing clouded hues of gray on blue
 brought back sweeter memories of you,

The night in its frightening cold and dark
 imprinted well the gnawing hollow marks.

Reality wakes at dawn
 with the only truth,  you are gone.
