Sorrow Hold

my thoughts just exploded onto the page

 SORROW HOLD

Again I am banished

to the hollow of my insides,

where the trees have all died

and the rivers are glassed over

with the smog of their scorn.

And where I fall,

there's an abyss of my tears,

a cage reserved for me,

shaped like my spirit.

And in the dead silence,

the blackness of my heart,

still the voices taunt me

still my worth is opposed.

So that I am

as you see me now ,

where the acrid shadows of scorn

seep from my eyes,

the hollow pits of coal.

The acid tears burn my cheeks.

I've tried in vain 

to reassemble the shards 

of my porcelain life.

They cut my fingers, 

cut my hands,

so that the shadows bleed out

and still I am never free.

I always have to take a deep breath, settle myself and focus before I read you, it's always so deep, this one is no different. The darkness of this read is oddly enough awe inspiring, maybe it's your way to twist the words so they ooze every last bit of what they're worth.

Would be hard pressed to say which line I fancy but this did me in...

to reassemble the shards
of my porcelain life.

Now there is a clear snapshot. Kudos, nice one.
