Widow of an empty casket

In a single moment, red turned to white

love turned into nothing

faded in memories

A tomb-less grave

A markless cemetery

Of every moment that made us

From we to you

I waved the white flag

Surrendered to the void

So vast and empty

No place for love

No hiding place for hate

Only meaningless moments

People in motion

Words that don’t make a sound

Promises unbounded

Flown away with each passing day

I stepped away

Widow of an empty casket

I lay us to rest

Every night, I buried you

I buried the burning red

that used to fuel the flame

Of endless desire that once burned for you

Now a cool breeze envelops the night sky

I shiver at the breeze

As I turn on betrayal avenue

It houses an empty home

Where walls have crumbled at the mercy of the world

Torn apart by vandals, stained with graffiti, profanity, slander

I see it decaying and I step away

For there is nothing but dust and decay

Everywhere you lay, my once beloved.
