Empty Hands
I’m just standing here
with empty cupped hands
my eyes squeezed tight shut
feet flat against the ground
I’m whispering brokenly
over and over again
the sweet things you once said to me,
reliving the memories
cradling the past
close to me now
But of all the beautiful things
that gleamed like diamonds in my mind
not a solitary dream remains
Now it’s just me and my empty hands,
just me and my memories
