The Empty Pillars of my Heart

Where once love’s light brightly burned
Stands the empty pillars of my heart
Now shrouded in cold and ugly shadows
Since an everlasting love fell apart


Gone are days of whispered promises
Now I have vacant empty pillars of my heart
Monuments to a love that has flown
And faded like long-forgotten art


The ruins of a once majestic time
Have crumbled in the empty pillars of my heart
Each pillar a memory of you
And a love that fell apart


Yet amidst the ruins hope exists
Can it mend the empty pillars of my heart
Does it linger in the emptiness
Is it a seed of a new start


In this precious moment in time
Can it rebuild the empty pillars of my heart
Will the wind of hope sweep away
The dust of pain that tore love apart.
