Deluge of Despondency

Rain pounding my soul in torrents Feelings of despair overwhelming A band around my heart restricting flow Non-existent love in a world deplete of compassion Harried existence to a futile end of unacknowledged achievements A specter in the streets of humanity Can you see me, hear me, touch me? I cry alone but I cry for all. Despair pounding my soul in torrents
