"Empty Box"  Written By DeeDee Shrogin

Heart of splinters
Not what you said
But the words not spoken
Need to be needed
Want to be wanted
Feeling nothing
Fragile
Pretending to be steel
Fooling no one
Though I believed for a second
I was okay
Pretty smiles
Delicate lines
For keeping
Now unraveled
And open
Once ensouled
An empty box
Hopeless and alone
On shelf
Waiting for someone
To see it's worth.
