Love Poem: My Heart Is Empty

My Heart Is Empty

Today my heart is empty
My thoughts are vacant too 
Just like a fallen tumbler 
Or a dranken jug of brew

Like a bottle to a drunkard 
And the glass upon the stand
Like a promise to live better 
And a lonely begging hand

Like a well that ran dry 
Or a tasty jug of rum
Like a bucket with a hole
Or a beating kettle drum 

Of baggage and of clutter 
Of darkness and of gloom
Like a freshly painted closet 
Like a neat and tidy room

There’s lots of precious love in there 
And understanding too
But they don’t take up any space 
There’s lots of room for you
