Empty shell

Sparks had shattered through the air,
under the bellows of a thunderous explosion ,
the sudden relief of a building tension.
We were
I held on to her
My heart dense with affection
Just like the lead projectile
That speared through the atmosphere
She's gone
just like a discharged cartage
I lay worthless
Baron ,
An empty shell
Cast aside, of no further use
The fire inside , dissipated through the barrel of indifference
My heart roams aimlessly ,
Eventually, it  will succumb to gravity,
Fall to the ground,lost
my affection
Nothing more than an empty shell
A discharged round of ammo
Laying in top of the dirt
With nothing left to give.
I put it all into her
Now she's gone
And I'm but an empty shell
