The silence is deafening
The room grows cold
A lone heartbeat echoes
The same story for ages told.
Gone is the laughter
Replaced by the tears
Loneliness has set in,
The worst of all fears.
Alone in the dark,
Pain seeping through,
Mind left to wander,
To search out a clue.
Abandoned, desolate
Broken beyond repair.
Searching for help,
With no one to care.
How to continue,
How to go on.
When all traces of life
Have all but gone.

This poem is packed with power verse after power verse. The verses are simple, but concentrated in meaning. I like that.

I like this, but the rhyme scheme cold-told, tears-fears, through-clue stops toward the end. Was this deliberate or should you have another line to rhyme with repair? The poem does goes well with that picture!
