Isolation

A connection severed, lost
Separation from the past?
Or
Separation from the future?
Either is torment

There is no time
Just an eternity
Of the very ever present
Lost in a void

It is the sigh of segregation
And it is the dint of deep depression

It is: the trouble, the pain, the hurt, the loss, the turmoil.
Swallowed by a dark blind orb

It captures you, and forces you to swallow
You are a slave to it.
And yet by all your masters you are but alone
In the hungry sea, on the peaks of soaring mountains, exiled on a remote island, or but just locked inside the room of your mind.

And the facts remain
You are but alone
Alone for that evil power within to gather and strengthen and to choke and smother and kill that tiny light left.
To distort what you love and make the very thought of it into a living torment playing before you forever and ever

But you�re mind doesn�t comprehend, it does not understand.
But you are deceived, and you say in confidence
�I am not alone�

Hey rickman i love this just as it is, please do not change a word. When i read your poems i feel so many different things all at once and then, when i finish reading, im sad because the experience is over. You're amazing.

I like it, and take this or leave it, but I think you could cut out several words and still make it punch.

ie....

Either torment

There is no time
Just eternity
Of ever present
Lost in void

Hey Rico, this is a deep and thought provoking piece. I know that feeling and I know that it can be conquered. You have nailed it!
