Deep Place

What is that deep place the soul goes
Saddened and lonely, hurt and hungry
Digging, burrowing so deep, so low
Blind, angry and deaf to the joy
Not hearing or seeing tomorrow
Sleepless, yet so sleepy
Seeking respite, relief, comfort and care.
Broken and wounded, sick and confused.
Can't and won't look around
Building a prison, rock and stone
Rock of rejection, stone of sadness
Erecting and edifice of pain and regret.
Monument to madness
Pylons of pain and suffering.
Bowed and broken by self pity.
Alone, alone, his choice is
Alone.
