Pain

I peer into the this place called pain
That lies within my heart
A place that's riddled with endless holes
Like scars from an assassin's dart

A place that's filled with hollow dreams
That ends in desolation
Where darkness overtakes the birth of light
Void, of illumination

A loneliness full of shattered hopes
A barren and empty shell
An eternal tomb of wretched screams
A place that I call hell

An endless maze that leads nowhere
A deep and forgotten stain
A shallow grave of tortured souls
This place that I call pain

You've described it well. An unfortunate part of life.
