Carl Fraser Poet Free verse

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.

Poet Destroyer A November 5, 2015 at 9:24 PM 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
