There was a time

There was a time
When I loved with passion,

But my heart has since turned
Into a chalice,
So hollow, so silent.

What has happened to the liquor
From which it drew its fire?

  1. Nice poem! " What has happened to the liquor
    from which it drew its fire?" I am guessing one of the two lovers involved drank all of it by themselves.

  2. Hi there and thank you for commenting. Well, I had written this poem during a very difficult period of my life. It is true what they say, a heartbreak could well be the worst pain there that can be experienced... I have come to realize that it takes a lot of courage to love yourself while not losing sight of the beautiful people around us. That is the best way to refill the chalice. :)
