Tormented Soul

The hole in my soul gives endless pain
No relief, no expectations, no hope of gain
Just painful memories
Of the fiery brand upon my heart.
Ceaselessly burning,  forever marked,
Oh life, for me is there no cure?
No end to this everlasting torture?
No, I am stricken, deadened to hope,
Tormented like the fires of hell,
Imprisoned by anguish of lost love eternal.
