Empty As Your Heart

EMPTY AS YOUR HEART
The unsold house sits empty
Empty as your heart
These days are short of sunlight
But leave more time for stars
Is this the room where you remembered me
Before you made your move?
I recognize my shadow
Silhouetted by the moon
What I liked about our kiss
It was mutual simultaneous
At the very same moment we locked lips
I believed that this was it
We met halfway we were almost there
As you came closer I was unaware
One month later in a foot of snow
You were making plans to let me go
Now I sit on your hardwood floor
Getting less wanting more
Why am I the one who is ignored
While you remain the one adored
What went wrong what had I done
The last I knew we were having fun
You’re a puzzle I’m a fool
I never realized you were cruel
What I liked about our kiss
It was mutual simultaneous
At the very same moment we locked lips
I believed that this was it
We met halfway we were almost there
As you came closer I was unaware
One month later in a foot of snow
You were making plans to let me go
