I read the sigh on the cage, Empty for Full ~ Buy a Spare; It seemed more than a fair wage To replace the empty air. I would tear open the door, Leaving my empty for full, Setting mine on the cold floor, And finding warmth in the pull. I’d tear out my frozen heart And grab hold of the warm spare, In the hope a fire would start Within the beat of the heir. New fuel for a burned out soul, Burning with a brand new glow That warms and fills the dark hole Of the cold, that I now know. Empty for Full ~ Buy a Spare: I would do it in a flash; The hot flames burning despair, I’d throw the ash in the trash.
