If tears can fill the void
And drown the pain of life
Make us see the truth
Is nothing more than lies.
If life can bring us hope
And build the dream anew
Make us learn that love
Is absolutely untrue.
If faith can be unborn
And killed with tortured words
Make us know that life
Is nothing but a curse.
If hope can bring such pain
And fill us with such dread
To make us seek the end
And hope for death instead.
If trust can be shattered
And crushed like broken glass
And leave us with despair
And hearts of loneliness.
If desire can bring dismay
And fractured nightmares there
How can one hope to live
To open and to share?
If love can be so ugly
To turn beauty into stench
Then how is one to keep
On the path of happiness?
If one is to believe
That one can save the world
From you and all your pain
With nothing more than words.
I cannot help but feel
The pain of helplessness
Of knowing all I do
Is bring more emptiness.
I want to love you all
To give you totality
And in so know that I
Can fill that vacancy.
Tell me now my friend
If my words are meanlingless
And the void within your heart
Is completely bottomless.
For I can dig the depths
And find some hope anew
And search for nourishment
To heal the hurt, it's true.
But I begin to feel your pain
And bleed along with you
And need to know that I
Am part of something new.
And not the instrument
Of torture that gives you
More agony and anger
And newfound depths of woe.

Love, what is it all?
Tell me...for I am lost.

The contents of this poem may be good!

It is just too hard to read,

a space or two or even three would help lots and lots!

I did not vote............

ohhhh

you had some good lines,spacing made them difficult to read and also, the flip-flop rhyme pattern was distracting.

This is hard to read....

Because you've bunched everything together. A little spacing between ideas here and there would go a long way in making this poem more user friendly. The second section is like a plea and could easily be a separate poem. Since the sentiments herein are expressed again and again, you might have pared this down to about half its current length. I think the result would be even more powerful!
