The Solitary Confinement of My Soul

The Solitary Confinement of My Soul

A Poem by Paul Pruett

My heart screams.

Tears are choked in my throat.

I burn with grief.

Crying unto God, I do.

He does not hear my soul break.

There is no comfort in anything I do.

None.

My heart screams.

I have made myself a lone, wanderer of misery.

No one’s fault save mine.

No one.

My world has collapsed.

Its what I deserve.

My punishment.

For all time.

There is no redemption for this crime.

My heart screams.

God seems deaf to my cries.

He does not hear my soul break.

The warm breeze blows.

My tears do not dry in it.

They flow to fast.

Burning.

Burning.

Burning.

 

 

My heart screams.
