Piece by poiece    i put it all together,
my heart and mind slowly     tormented,
by memories of the past.
Thoughts which once drew a sparkle to my eyes
     now bring a solemn drip       drip
of tears from deep inside,
and i'm left        lost
in the belly of the hungry, black abyss
    that has swirled into existence
       within me.
Swirling    round      and round
hungry            and swirling...
so lost.

" How can i feel if i can't breathe...?"
-Godsmack
"If who i am is what i have, and what i have is lost...then who am i?"
-unknown

say what you gotta say.... OK... I will...


I say this has a great deal of potential. It reads well enough as is that it is good, but with a bit of editing it could be great. The repeated words are bit of ovrkill in my mind for a piece this short, but you create a feel and a scene that is stronger than this weakness. The line breaks might also be looked at to emphasize the way the reader should pause naturally as well as to set the pace of the poem...

Now... I'm not an expert..and those are only opinions.. so we all know opinions are not worth anything.

I look foward to seeing more... there are definitly a lot of things I like about this piece..
