Broken Soul

 What does a broken soul look like

It is the thousand-year stare from empty dead eyes, vacant and numb 

Triggers playing on a loop of tortured memories

It is the tiredness of the rested

And the rest of the tired...

Weary from thoughts that line up like executioners  each shooting to kill

It is the weariness and the tearless cry

That rips through you and you talk to yourself

Because no one wishes to hear

It is the quiet despair that sits with you wearily at  noon

You welcome sleep from the turmoil

Alas sleep itself is full of torment so you wake unrested...and tired 

The days are bleak...the future tortuous...the past tormentous and the present enveloped in an unending blanket of pain

You call to heaven...the silence is darker than hope...
