EMPTY ROOM

Broken and bereft, clutching his hand.

Yes a woman I am, a glorious sham.

There is no reason or nursery rhyme.

So just tell me why you left me last night.

Empty hopes. Empty dreams.

Empty shadows. Empty screams.

An empty bed is where she rests.

Now our home's an empty nest.

Through hollow nights and fruitless days

I thought my love could keep you safe.

But now my womb is just an empty room.

I'm waking up to demons galore.

They're moving through my feminine floor.

I'm drowning in crimson and I'm drinking your rain.

You called my bluff, cashed in my pain.

It wasn't you, it wasn't me.

It just wasn't meant to be.

Roll the dice. Take the bet.

Let it go.

Try again.
