somewhere at the edge

There's an emptiness
a burning destruction
rampant fire
absorbing every breath of air

There is heaviness
a heart's reconstruction
unleashed desire
weighing me down, its cross I bare

I face loneliness
by the webs induction
wrapped in wire
tucked silently away with care

Then there's selfishness
a mind's misdirection
want in ire
but to hold only in despair

This, inside of me
my soul's introduction
as I tire
trapped within the black widow's lair

1st stanza that’s:
a burning destruction
  
3rd stanza that’s:
I face loneliness

Now after this minor nit picking

I like the arrangement and the tone of it,
Could be a little tighter on meter, but that also is minor.
A good write, and I look forward to reading more of your work.
Just polish a little more.
