Tormented Daily

By GothicBlack

Tormented daily
By the grinding of my heart
Always constant, persistent
Falling forever in pain
Gnawing at my existence
Bleeding from the inside out
Someone shake me
(save me)
My soul has died
Because it’s always burning
A light in the darkness
However it is no beckon
Only a burden I bare
Pain buried deep
(That’s it’s nature)
Sorrow creates grave wounds
Scars that never will heal
A reminder in the light
Of the darkness I posses
And the shadow of your presence
Showers me in tears of weeping
Bound by our love
(the 2 of us)
Yet consumed by the distance
I long to release the heartache
That’s whispered in my ears
Played loud against the music
Like a lament, over powering
I pray and I beg
(release me)
But nothing ever happens
I’m engulfed by solitary tears
As loneliness digs my grave
What I crave
(only your arms)
I shall never come to gain
Yet forever tormented
By the grinding of my heart
I reach to find
Only an empty bed
And a lonely heart
Someone save me
(wake me)
Brake this ugly rhythm
The shedding of tears
Put me back together
Remind me of your touch
I can only dream of your face
And scream aloud I love you
As this agony boils over
Someone fix me
Let me live my life
Without the pain
The daily torment
Of my worn out heart
(I can only survive so long)
I need you by my side
But there’s only empty arms

    so much emotion and yet, completely empty. Hopelessness is difficult, that's what is resting heavily on my shoulders at this very moment, great poem *~seraph~*

    I'll be right over!

  • A former member wrote: "I long to release the heartache that*s whispered in my ears" This strummed a sad song on my heart-strings...beautifully stunning in it*s hopelessness

  • A former member wrote: Only empty arms...that last line just drove the poem in further. I felt the emptiness within this poem. Excellent write.
