I saw the light
I watched it fall
I felt the fright
I heard the call
Seething deep
Inside of me
Opening wounds
No one can see
Bleeding inside
My shell is so hard
My life’s been tried
My heart’s been scared
Yet still I live
Though I don’t know how
I want to give
But have nothing now
Than this tattered shell
And heart that bleeds
A life spent in hell
And this soul that needs
Just a touch
From time to time
And with that much
I’ll end this rhyme

Regret not that which you have done,
Rather that which you haven't

Isnt it funny how we can go through so much pain and unless we tell someone, no one even knows it.  There are times I just want to scream to the world and ask for a hand of concern.  Yet as I look around, no one is near by.  As for your *outter shell* well I just call that my *wall*.  I built it for protection and when I do let it down, it seems to go right back up.  I have the scars to prove it.  
Great write btw,

Thank you everybody for the responces. I wrote this about two months ago, but have no fear, I'm not really that depressed anymore. Though there was a time when I was and even more so. I've just learned to give up on the very idea of love because for me it doesn't exist and that is a fact. So instead of beating myself up over it, I write and get those thoughts out of my head. Thank you all again. Dose that make any since? To me it dose. Anyways, take care!

Ohhhhhhhh no!  Dont give up on *love*.  Okay someone told me this once and I will share it with you now.  (nope u cant run from me either!! lol )  They told me that I look to hard for love.  That once I stop wanting it soooooooooo bad that it will find me.  (not that it has either   )  Just please dont give up on it.  That would be like giving up on one of your dreams!  Okay I am preaching here and I didnt want to do that either.  I just hate for anyone to give up on such a beautiful thing, ya know?

Anyways, keep up the writing, I love it,

It flowed awesomely!  
Some lines that I enjoyed are:
"Bleeding inside
My shell is so hard
My life’s been tried
My heart’s been scared
Yet still I live
Though I don’t know how
I want to give
But have nothing now"

I read that and went, 'WOW. I know how that is.'

Thanks for the read. Hopefully things are looking up for you now.

Dark Kisses: Thanks Mags. I'm ok, really. I just won't waste any more time looking for something that just isn't there. So if "love" dose exist out there for me somewhere, it'll just have to find me because I'm not looking any more. Thanks again.

anonymousfemale: WOW! What a compliment, thank you! I'm so glad that you liked this piece so much and saddened to hear that you can relate. Hopefully that's not the case now. Do take care and thanks again.
