    My only suggestion would be to add punctuation for a more dramatic effect. But you really added depth here and imagery of this seclusion between your mind...showing the reader how you have loved and now lost everything you are...really touching and thought-provoking, you gave some great expressions deep within your heart.

    God bless and thanks for sharing!

    I'm going to be honest, shawn. The whole poem lacks originality and creativity. The speaker is just someone who is seemingly hopeless, and its very hard to empathize with the speaker if his/her expressions lack depth.

    About the first few lines: do you think you can "show" the emotion without describing it as "haunting", because that is just way too vague. You are merely using the definition of "haunting" as the tool, instead of a creative image.

    "Twisting and turning
    In circles"
    - Can't help but find this image humorous. You don't want that. It needs work.

    "Cornering my fragile
    Yet damaged soul"
    - 'fragile soul', 'damaged soul'. You can find such phrases anywhere these days. In blogs.

    I'm going to stop here. To be honest, this is more like a rant from a sad preteen than a poem. Sorry.

    If you wish to read on such theme (sad existence), try Anne Sexton's "Baby Picture".
