~ An Hour With You~

The Treasures Within

The treasures within weep loudly,
No longer there yet once held dear,
Meaningless to one thrown away,
Emptiness still whispers so near.

A stupor wreaks a shocked silence,
The treasures within two hearts gone,
Without a thought to years of love,
Emptiness was left as love’s song.

The treasures within love's heart scream,
Left to keep is but disarray,
All cast away to winds of time,
Emptiness’ shock clings to dismay.

The breaching of love’s heart prints tears,
Brutally tears ravaged for days,
A whole life of love hurled as tripe,
Emptiness and grief crushed love’s ways.

The treasures within both hearts gone,
Suddenly without a warning,
Treasures torn up gone forever,
Emptiness lingers as mourning.

The treasures within ne'er return,
Lost in a time of confusion,
All the same a useless rampage,
Emptiness lives with no vision.
