Icy Isolation
I stand alone in this big, big world.
It's last light fleeting as the sun disembarks.
Nothing in this icy place unfurls,
But the conduit of every pain, my stormy, stormy heart.
Why am I trapped in this damp, cold hell,
Where the rains that fall are my own tears,
Where there's nowhere to stand that I haven't fell,
And the winds rip like blades dipped in fear?
On my knees, in this tundra vast,
Screaming at the distant walls,
They put up against the night I cast,
Constructed to deflect my calls.
On my knees, too defeated to resist
The numbness of this unmelting snow,
My echoes return, with the sweet kiss
Of my dead, dead hope.
As I lay in this pitch black place,
Eyes frozen open, because I dared cry,
My freezing heart finds some small solace,
In lie, after lie, after lie...

First of all
This is a magnificent construction
Your choice of words
Your rhymes
And even the use of multies in the tittle 'I see isolation~icy isolation”
Where the rain that fall are my own tears
Where there is nowhere to stand that I haven't fell
U know this kind of poetry challenges creativity
Nice one.

I appreciate the input man, praise is always appreciated, but so is criticism.
