This work has reached the exceptional level
I'm afraid my heart will freeze.
Emptiness by justjo66
Poets Choice 3 contest entry

I don't know your name
but I want you
Maybe it's the alcohol
mixed with the music

Could be the loneliness so deep
I can't explain
I need someone to hold me
if only for a night or awhile

Promises unspoken in the dark
Smoke rings floating on the air
I need someone warm tonight
to chase away my chill

I'm afraid my heart will freeze
My body will turn to stone
Will you come this way again?
Will I feel your embrace?

Love so long gone
All is left is the emptiness of a song.
