Alone in these Shadows

It breaks my heart
It tears every ounce of sanity I had away
The people I loved... Love...
Their hearts have grown distant
I'm so tired of trying to fix it
With my hands on my head I fail
Failure to give what was expected of me
It just doesn't matter
Damn it.
You're causing my heart to darken
So alone in these shadows of my heart
It's cruel...
I'll never be that woman
As much as I rip apart myself I see no change
Take it all away.

Hi really cool work here. I can really feel your emotions and feelings radiate off of these words. Trying to fix those who like being broken is always a lost cause. Job well done.

Powerful words, Angela, emotional and expressive of someone who just wants to give up...Also natural and conversational sounding. Thanks to Jack for pointing me to this poem.
