Cold Steel In My Soul

Time passes by
as a eagle soar
high above .
My heart aches
as my soul pours out
kindness to all.
Yet my soul 
is dark and cold
from walking alone.
Could it be 
no one meant for me? 
Would anyone cry for me
if my life was done?
Thoughts at time
of letting go
of this world
and letting my blood flow.
I feel the blade 
of the cold steel 
plunging deep into my soul.
All I long is for one
to make me whole
and not walk alone.
My soul is like 
an ice burg drifting alone
in the vast sea of life
melting slowly away. 
People come and go
but yet I feel alone
as I drift through life
with darkness in my soul

Michael This is a deep and powerful write. The pain is flowing out of you in every line. I hope this is still not happening or how you feel. Sending you a big hug and friendly good thoughts. Thanks for the great comment on My Love Wasn't Enough poem.

This poem truly resonated with me. I felt the depth of your emotion. I have held that razor blade to my wrists far too many times to count so I know what that feel like. Very powerful piece; kudos! :)
