Leave Me Be.

Inside I am but a mass
Of tumultuous emotion.
My hearts breath shortened
With it’s relentless sobbing.
Tears merging with tears
Flooding the ocean of humanity
Struggling to survive within me.
Generations of sorrow have
Served, Only to fuel my
Inability to trust, and
Dampen my desire to love.
My exhaustion is complete.
I am now but an emptiness,
A void of confusion.
Do not dare to venture
Within my heart
For your soul in turn will be
Crushed by the great
Sadness it will discover.
I may be enveloped in loneliness,
Swaddled in faithlessness
And content in lovelessness,
But never will I be merciless.
So hear me now and
Heed my warnings fellow man-
Past me by in the street,
Do not gaze into my dark eyes.
It is your soul I wish to spare.
My heart is frozen for an eternity;
As inviting as death itself.
Walk on, leave me to
Pity myself in my great sorrow.
Leave me be.
Leave me.
