the house is empty except
a few boxes scattered about
only a couple of pieces
of unwanted furniture
are left behind
half of a lifetime
was taken away
all that is left
is the discarded pieces
of the life i wanted
and the lonely echoes
of our last goodbyes
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – lonely
I am starving
Feed me with your hands
I am lonely
Love me with your heart
I am empty
Inundate me with your spirit
I am yours
Take me as I am
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – inundate
I’m the gullible one
Believing in your kindness
I’m the used one
Drawn to help you
I’m the foolish one
Feeling you once cared
I’m the lonely one
With you out of my life

Just in time
Let’s start a rhyme
One of love
Sent from above
About devotion
And a lot of emotion
One never ending
It’s affection I’m sending
Straight to your heart
It’s where it all starts
So believe me when I say
I love you today
And for ever after
I’ll shout it from the rafter
You are my one and only
Without you I am lonely
