Emotional Depth

Emotional Depth
By 
Damien Mac Mánais

Meandering  thoughts, 
blissful solitude surrounds me,
Hidden in selfish emotion,
well-being 
well guarded 
against selfish caring,
finding yourself 
then another,
lost in a moment,
shattered now
fragmental heart,
scattered upon my soul,
giving oneself so deeply to another
in so short a time,
I feel foolish, 
weakness abounds,
isolated,
alone but reluctant
to give up on myself,
can’t retreat into my emotional instability,
stilted growth of affection in my heart,
hopelessly lost,
feeling so bare,
how come I care, never again....
