Emptiness

Sitting and thinking of ladies in my life,

Past to now.

Going back from my preteens to present.

I will always remember my first love,

From before I was 10.

But I try to forget my last.

Seventy years of my heart knowing ladies

Has left my soul empty and barren.

Being a poet the words in music

Leads my heart down many paths.

As does my souls touch to the ladies

That have crossed my hearts path

Over so much time.

I have stumbled so often.

Empathy giving them so much support.

But when their hearts strength returns,

I have been disposed of.

I have spent the greater part of my life,

Alone.

I still search,

But my confidence makes this

A difficult time trying to find love again.

So I will drift,

Still looking but not hopeful.

Seeing those that Love stands out,

Easy to see, gives belief it can happen.
