Empty Embrace

In the shadows of his indifference, I stand

Aching for a touch, a word, a glance

But he remains oblivious to my worth

Lost in his own world, his own dance

I give my all, my love, my time

But he takes it for granted, like it's his right

He doesn't see the beauty in my soul

Or the strength in my fight

I long for validation, for recognition

But he only sees what he wants to see

Blinded by his own selfish desires

He fails to appreciate the essence of me

I am a treasure, a gem, a rare find

But he treats me like a common stone

Unaware of the depth of my love

Or the power of my own throne

I deserve to be cherished, to be adored

To be valued for all that I am

But with a man who doesn't know how to see

I am left feeling lost, like a ship without a dam

So I must find the strength within myself

To walk away from his empty embrace

And seek out a love that will honor me

And cherish me with grace

For I am worth more than he can ever see

And I will not settle for less

I will find a man who knows how to value me

And together, we will be blessed.
