My soul's exploding with darkest hue -
A raging sea - my time here...through.
My dreams are shattered...
As though it mattered.
To close my eyes with eternal dream -
To walk along a crystal stream...
To just feel love...
From God above.
No one could ever heal my soul
No one could ever make me whole -
Please let me sleep...
Eternal deep.

Well metered and rhymed, nicely expressed, though there are one or two extraneous lines that if I were writing I would leave out. i.e. Line #4 (I don't understand it's significance, but that could just be a personal problem of mine.)

Even with a lot of imagination, does it make the story less true?

So very vivid...and so expressive. Keep it up!
