No form, just self-thought

sometimes i wonder just how evil i really am
when i stare into anothers eyes and think of them as nothing
thinking of them as just a glass
through their eyes and into their soul
seeing their pathetic pleas
and being compelled by an unknown force to help
and helping through all my will
yet somehow dying more with each failed save
crying stones upon my heart
blinking burnt tears
hurting so much that i could not help
and quivering in self hate for my failure
sick to my tears
and nauseous through my bones
till then another comes to me
my heart so close to touching theirs
but realising that for who I am it will never be
and hurting again as I peer through their soul
to wonder as to what they would have me do
so again I set my sorrow for them out
attempting once again to have some form of love
some form of will to help them through their ways
till the calm of their sorrow overtakes me
and I again in turn am turned to pity
to once again be lowered beneath the depths
ever less human and ever more sad
but through all my help and all my sorrow
I still bare malice unto myself
and the little thought in the back of my head eachoes to resound
that I know they only suffer of my inability to love
of my inability to be selfless and suffer them my all
and give unto them my eternal pain that they might be pure
that they might return to the love of God as I am so destroyed
that I may be upon this flesh with eyes seen as compassionate
yet still the thoughts beat deep in my chest and i know the truth...
It is not compassion which I show unto the world I cannot seem the strength to love
But cruelty of purest form for those whose tears fall upon my weak scared soul.....

No form!? I thought it was well constructed. I felt the coldness and the passion? Well I felt some emotion I can't quite relate to.

  Good write! and thanx for sharing!

Well I say no from because I was basically just thinking to myself and typing it down as fast as I could

The emotion is a non-emotion
its the feeling of being merciful and cruel at the same time

Like you can take something two different ways

and my attitude towards people is absolute cruelty and compassion at the same time
