New Chapter Come to Me

New Chapter come to me,
 for this one, it does end.

The words no longer come,
the pages, they are blank,

Their emptiness fills my soul
with nothingness profound.

An endless trip to nowhere,
no beginning and no end

and when I finally got there
I learned I was alone.

The position of my heart makes it 
no more or less that what it is,
broken, bleeding, weeping.

New Chapter come to me,
and bring to me the tears
to wash away this pain.

Old Chapter born of hope,
 now filled with the pain
of empty promises
please set me free to start anew.
