Empty Inside

Empty Inside

 

F J McCarthy on Jun 17, 2009

 

 

Empty, hollow, nothing left.

The way I feel inside.

No substance there I am bereft.

With nothing left to hide.

Barren,stark, like windblown sand.

No purchase to be found.

Tossed about like a tumble ****

This world has worn me down.

Dried out ,hardened,like a stone.

I’m ready for the fire.

Burn me up till I am gone.

My soul can now retire.
