Empty Spaces


by Sarah Jodoin (15)

There's a place in my heart
That always seems to be empty
I fill it with things
but they all seem to hurt me
When I finally found you
I thought would change
but really I just got
immuned to my pain
You were the only person
I've ever truley trusted
when I was with you
I felt sincerely accepted
You promised me
you'd never leave
but your words and your actions
now seem to deceive
Did I ever mean anything to you?
Or was I the only one
to give our friendship value?
I gave into you
and your love that I needed
and just like always
your love for me ended
You gave me my strength
and my confidence, too,
but now I have to learn
to be strong without you
You had hurt me before
and again and again
I came back to you
with love that I'd drain
That's how I feel
and that's how you left me
with my heart so low
and the glass half empty.
