a yawning gap
of misery sucks in
life and cheerfulness
like a black hole
a hand to hold
a shoulder to rest
a few kind words
is all that the soul seeks
yet in giving
in losing oneself
there are hidden swamps
pain, agony and sorrow
claim life’s efforts to flourish
nay, just stay afloat!
what karmic paths lead where
what joys will someday compensate
what the morrows hold
just a plain gleaming vacuum
of broken tinsel dreams
searing torn hopes
a knowledge of nothingness
thunder, fire and lightening
an empty empty living.

Vivid and evocative. A sincere expression of melancholy with an imagery that conveys despair and anguish. Words like vacuum, torn, nothingness, and empty create a feeling of hopelessness. Great work, and keep writing.
