The thought of having you in my bed,
gave me hope
Looking at you while you sleep,
breaks my heart.
The sound of your voice
over the phone is so promising
The sound of your silence
when you sleep next to me,
is like a trumpet.
The messages you send
when you are away,
give me a clear picture of the future
The ignorance you dish out,
tears every thread of hope.

Like an oak barrel,
sanded with sandalwood,
laced with iron
Like a crystal vase glistening
in the sunlight at break of dawn
Like a wish kept in the heart of a stranger.
You are just as empty, just as void,
just a figment of my imagination.

Your words could send men back to the battlefield
Your assurance could make a woman
Your action led men to the butcher man
Your ignorance led a woman to insanity.

I am packing up my heart again, as heavy as it is
I am dead inside, as cruel as it might sound
I am particularly leaving with empty words.
