I lay before you a barren place <br />What was once filled with desire and laughter <br />Beauty and joy <br />Once untarnished <br />Never a secret nor a lie to the love that was contained inside <br />Now an empty tomb <br /> <br />Where once love flourished like spring blossom <br />Where i fought to preserve purity <br />Today waits to be covered and left alone <br />Solitude my companion and he <br />Darkness is my friend <br /> <br />Abandoned flowers <br />Wilted and dry <br />Flourishing only on grief and tears <br /> <br />A timeless void <br />Empty <br />Lost its glory <br />Filling its empty pit with tears of time <br />A place once called home <br />My heart... <br />Today my tomb<br /><br />Leila Kay<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-heart-my-tomb/
