Island of the night


Hearts break
without a sound
tears fall
with the silence
of the night
empty hands
reach for naught
and flesh turns cold
from the loneliness
left in your wake.
Looking back
how foolish I became
self inflicted
the blindness
consumed all thought
perverted truths
and led me here
to this island
of the night
where emotional beatings
are self inflicted
and I willingly stay
until healed
until willing
to love again.


Critique this please, Im at a loss as to why my writings aren' moving people. I know I seldom punctuate, 'cuz I break on words.

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
