Unclean

The words cut deep Like an earthquake Carving a ragged ravine through my soul " It's over " she screams Tearing my heart out seam by seam Nothing left inside but a hollow hole Where a vibrant love once did reside. Now the need for a rock to crawl under A desparate need to hide Away from destroyed hopes and crumbling dreams This barren shell is no place to dwell For a soul who cherishes love More than your created hell Leaving me unclean, tucked away unseen Just another lover has-been Broken and ashamed, just myself to blame I lock myself away, away with the pain Wondering if I can ever go outside again To show my face disgraced And a heart misplaced Maybe it's time to vanish Without a trace.

Again, I wish to comment as I just did on your poem "Waiting to go." I know how desperate I am, trying to hide from all. Even when I am here on the soup, I hide behind a fake smile. I know you know what I mean. Carl, cutting words like the ones she screams, sound tormenting. I tried giving Nate the same words, yesterday, "It is over." he laughed and said why. I gave him my reasons, then he said, we both need to give more. I left it at that. By the way, I was not doing it the unclean way. LINDA
