Heartlessness
By kenneth
With the cool breeze
Comes a gentle whisper
Unforgettable memories
And a slight shiver
I pause for a moment
Ever so faintly I smile
But I remember my torment
That plagues
me all the while
I stand here for hours it seems
Under the moons
gentle glow
I recall my forgotten dreams
I wonder why I let them
go
I see that I’ve become a stranger
I am not as I thought
I would be
Deep inside I know that I’m a monster
From myself
I cannot be free
Deep in my chest this ache
As I try to shrug
off this emotion
How many promises will I break
Within all I
can see is corrosion
My tears oh how they try to fall
To at least
show that there is a soul
But they cannot hear my hearts call
Cause
my heart has not control
The fleeting warmth that filled the void
within
Now dissipates into nothingness
The trembling in my hands
begin
When I realized that I am heartless

Great job matching the tile to the body of work - not everyone succeeds at doing this. Very descriptive and if I may: put a space between every 4th line as you seem to write and rhyme in that classical form (whatever it is called). I know the editing is a lot of work on this website, good job overall and welcome!
