A room that echoes
A hand outstretched
Asks to be touched
When empty eyes
Have no more tears
A soul that's scared
Has an empty heart
A room that echoes
Is an empty home

A fine write Andrew.
There's a saying, something like: 'Empty vessels make the most noise when tapped (or banged)'. Not that I go round hitting 'empty' folk! lol.
A melancholy write - love the simple format which underlines it so well.
Sadness as if one were reaching for the last ever human touch, a speechless goodbye, grateful for that final comfort as one soul traverses the untold truth to beyond.
I was captivated within your words.
Wonderful emotive words Andrew and in my case the last two lines are so true.
Andy
