Empty

With pen in hand I sit staring at this blank page
willing the words to appear, for I know within myself
that I can not fill this page tonight.
For my heart is like this page....
To you I have given everything.
I have given you all that I am and all I wish to be
and you selfishly took it all, giving me nothing in return but wishful thoughts and scattered dreams.
And even those you took back.
And now, as the words appear on this page...
It is filled.
Though I remain...
Empty.
