Empty spaces within the soul
The hurt that never seems to go
Blackness fills the void within
The pain that never seems to end

Hearts that bleed a crimson red
Distressing word that once were said
Darkness falls upon the mind
Wanting to forget that moment in time

Voices heard within the night
Makes a panic stricken lonesome life
Cracked and broken spirits fall
Inside my shell I cowardly crawl

Reckless feelings of deep despare
A hollow place once unaware
Unintended circumstances
Makes rumors, whispers and evil glances

Escaping seems a hopeless goal
A constant reminder of what I know
Running fast as not to blink
Wasting away while taking a drink

Holding on to ceaseless blame
Carries with it a heavy price of shame
Dignity destroyed along the way
An expensive cost I had to pay

Anger approaches with a silent ascent
Exploding in places not where it was meant
Lacking control and no where to hide
The spirit within has undoubtedly died

Believing this was part of a plan
Pours salt in the wounds of mortal man
Tears are cried that leave a stain
When hearts give up and end the pain

Good words

Yes we all maybe look at something that fills a hole and a whole

Strong honest gutsy words
