"Perils of a Heartbreak"

Darkness abounds inside my empty throbbing head

Dispensing "blows of burden" that I simply can't shed

My tears flow quietly, streaking down my face

 The gleam of the tracks they make, looking out of place

The sorrowful resemblance that was once a man

Is kneeling on the ground feeling weak, unable to stand

Forcing the emotions to be drawn deep down inside

Seeking shelter, a secret corner, a place in which to hide

Longing to fill the void straining inside my chest

My spirit crying out saying, this must be put to rest

Gaining nothing from this ache felt down in my gut

The burning from within will not loosen out from its rut

The coldness creeping slowly all throughout my trembling bones

Waiting to be broken from the cast of awful verbal stones

The grief within my body is screaming to be let out

But my mind continues flashing horrid flames, forcing me to doubt

And through the perils of my memory causing me so much pain

My heart has been exhausted, shattered from all the strain

I concede to forces stronger, no longer seeking hope

Yielding to the evil that has hung me, choking with its rope

No longer does love surround me, its protection ever lost

For this heartache has finally destroyed my dreams at such a deadly cost

You have taken from me my future and all that I hold dear

and shattered all things within my world through your misery, hate and fear

But the day will surmise when suddenly you shall see from my life

The one who truly, "LOVED" you and wanted to make you my wife
