“Empty Place” is a short poem about love lost suddenly or tragically.
A monument of great beauty
Holds forever true
Immortalized in the snapshot
Of your sweet face
Like cruel Fate you came to me
From the deep blue
With love so deep, I got lost in
Your strong embrace
Suddenly, you up and left me
In a daze lost
In this empty place, all this time
What came of you?
