When reality's shunned by youth a sadness envelops your soul. And time starts to unravel truth for your heart no longer feels whole. The betrayal of love's unfair facing a future filled with dread. Yet you are no longer a pair, for he has abandoned your bed. When the hurt becomes hard to bare you try to hide inside a book. Yet loneliness follows you there and you feel frightened and forsook. Fear fuels anxiety’s climb taking emotions to extremes. And having cried the umpteenth time tears washed away all of your dreams. You’re left confused and overwrought, crushed by the fickle hand of fate. And feeling depressed and distraught life feels empty without a mate. 1/10/2015

Your simplicity in words does convey emotional images: "Yet you are no longer a pair, for he has abandoned your bed." and "When the hurt becomes hard to bare you try to hide inside a book. Yet loneliness follows you there". Well done , Emile.
