My heart has been shattered
Like glass on stone
The hurt inside is building up
I feel so all alone.

No arms to wrap around me
In a comforting embrace
Relationships have left me
With a frown upon my face.

The pain is rushing through me
Like a knife plunged in the heart,
Love can't seem to find me
And depression can't seem to part.

So many years of heartache
From torment and abuse
This lonely heart of mine
Has been shattered from misuse.

I really like how you sum up the pain in the last verse.....However, the entire poem is well presentated with nice tight rhyme scheme and great emotion.

I agree .... the last verse sums up your emotions nicely ...the story may be unfinished but your words here have a defined and just expression.

Would look forward to the sequel, especially if it carried a reverse twist.
Hope your day finds warmth in a smile.

Thank you for your replies......It's pretty sad to think how easily the emotions flow and rhyming schemes tend to go better when it is about depression.  Anyway....thanks for the write.  It is just one of those times....you know?

Thank you all for your replies....and yes.......things have picked up since I've written this.  But you know how it is.....sometimes you just need to feel the pain and write it out....then...move on.
