Hugging knees in **darkest** corners
Leaving **love** behind
Sinking so **deeply**, light is lost
Spirit **broken**
Heart **shattered**
Soul **torn**
Before the **mending** could begin
Before the **pieces** could be swept up
Smacked to the **ground** 
**Crushed** into powder
Irreparably **damaged**
**Irrevocably** heartless
Too much **love** begets too much torment
Agonizing over unowned **burdens**
Cold shadows become **welcoming**
As warmth feels more like **Hell**

Love the line "too much love gets too much torment" and other nice metaphors.&nbsp;&nbsp;A little dark but a great write Pretty Bird.

Pushed to limits broken, this poem is a guide to understanding why you want to accept the darkness. At some point it will become your best friend. Darkness, a place where you have described as, finally home. I like this a lot. The imagery of your words really speaks to me.
