A Heart of Cobwebs

By TheCreepIngCrow

                                                 I looked for love inside
Myself.
                       Instead I found cobwebs.
          Broken and
                        Disoriented.
                                   My heart would not tick right.
                                                     My soul was shadowed, 
                                                                                As the night,
                                                  And their windows dulled,
                                        No longer bright.
                         Loveless, loveless.
           My hands clenched.
                         My smile feigned.
                                     All love exhausted.
                                              My heart's been pinched.

    "pinched" as in British slang I would guess? (stolen perhaps). Wondering about soul having multiple windows too - how cool (windows to the soul). Really enjoyed this piece and apologize for the criticality, thanks.
