Empty


Empty

The lamp was only bright enough
to illuminate her and the letter.
A surrounding orb – its own universe.
The paper, ink, and tears mingled and
wrinkled
blotted
warped the words.
Hated words, loving words.
Eventually –
         no more words
         tears run dry
         love goes cold
         and the lamp turns off.
