how do I ?

a poem about being hurt by love trying to resurface and find your self again

ow do you love when you have been so hurt?

When your feelings are thrown out, into the dirt.

How do you regain the power to remain as you once did.

When you wish to erase the past, so you can seal the lid.

What makes a man go silent in the darkness of his mind.

Who can save that soul, no clues, lost, not easy to find.

Take that empty space that you created for yourself inside your soul.

Ask yourself a thousand questions always ending with, 

"what will make me whole".

Is alcohol the answer to life when things start to go bad.

Do you take drugs to escape, reminiscing of things you had.

So there you were standing in front of a soul so lost.

You put your heart on the line, for love what a cost.

You sacrificed the things just to feel something for someone new.

But this bond between us so strong, it only grew.

I wrap my arms around the wound on your soulful skin.

You wrap me in, you can feel my emotions wearing thin.

My tears were waterfalls for a love I didn't want to lose.

We fought harsh, on opposing teams, creating a stem of blues.

Ah but these emotions, they fight for you until this day still.

The fight never stops, with my love it is you I want to fill.

My emotions are lost somewhere, out there in space.

With time they will come down, back into their place.

This part of me still caring, still wanting you more than ever.

Its killing me inside, because I want you for me, forever.

You've captured the feelings of love hoping to rescue… rescue the lover, rescue the self.

However, I think you should tailor the rhythm a bit more. It's rather awkward in places. I'm not saying is has to rhyme. But, most of the poem follows a rhythm and where it falls apart distracts from the imagery your trying to evoke.
