Empty chairs
empty hearts
empty sky
empty screen

a blank canvas
an unscripted act between

Then her words arrived
after the deep silence broke
gunshots boom bomb
heated arguments spoke

She detonated my mind
lava sprawling in violence
and all that was left
was the wreckage of silence

A journey of a thousand miles
begins by moving one leg
I was in no state
to surrender and beg

Life offered me an empty glass
I let the moment pass
then quietly on my own terms
I poured myself a peg
I poured myself a peg
