Empty Miles and Shallow Hearts

So much and so little in return

Empty Miles and Shallow Hearts

I've been over empty miles tonight

As the echoes of what could have been

Disappeared from my sight.

The subtle signs I should have seen

The marks of things not right

If only I had seen your shallow heart.

♥️💙💗♥️💙💗

I walked your road, I took it slow

I gave nothing but respect

So many times I hoped they'd show.

How much I wanted to connect

But your shallow heart began to show

My attention had the opposite effect.

♥️💙💗♥️💙💗

So many times I hoped you’d find

Solace from my comfort and care.

And now I see I was just blind

There was no love in there.

You chewed me up and left me there

I didn’t ever think you’d be that unkind.

♥️💙💗♥️💙💗

You turned away and closed your heart

You had other things to explore.

You left me here to break apart

Nothing to do with me anymore.

Empty miles left from your shallow heart

Like all the times before.

♥️💙💗♥️💙💗

Till next time,

Calvin
