Deeply Wounded

By Gladys de Leon

Trapped in vacuity
Feeling empty and futile
Without a thought to think
An indolent heart that doesn’t beat

Promises led me to wreckage,
Vengeful conceptions ardently prevail
Blood imbrued the innocent hands
Unwanted emotions mold the furious mind

Ungraciously forsaken by the world,
Causing me to believe the untrue
Had me nullified by deplorable mistakes
Benumbed by repetitious dismay

Confined with so much sadness,
Illusions are patently evident,
Diminishing light menaced my paradise,
Drifting me away as oblivions rise
