Shreds

Raise me,
from the depths of my tortured soul.
Pull me from the miasma of confusion,
strip away the caustic thoughts
eating my life away,
tear away the pain…
rip it from the remaining shreds
that once was my heart,
release me from this misery,
this horrible death
that dying love has caused.

Powerful! This is not to make light of your poem at all, but it sounds like what's going on in my stomach tonight.

But, in its true intent, it is an extremely well-written, powerful piece!

I hope there is someone who can do that for you.. It reminds me of the people that I'd turn to for that responsibility. A deeply moving poem this was.. God bless you

Love is God. Love is war. Love is what your life is for.
