Question:

An old poem (long) honest critique? please?! what can i change in this poem?

isolated in my misery
tormented by a memory
swallowed up in agony
must i now die alone?

nothing's changed
nothing's changed

i can feel this fire * burning
of the anger that's now rising
fleeting hopes and dreams
of healing
that now stagnate within me
dying

nothing's changed
nothing's changed

the darkness now prevailing
hiding me under it's shadow
as the desperation
this devastation
now engulfs my soul

friends and mourners * together come
paying homeage to my grave
yet did they not one thing for me -
but enable me to eternity
and further take me from this place

nothing's changed

intercessors - weeping
were there any?
none at all
pleading that he might
turn back his wrath
that now comsumes my soul

nothing's changed

the nightmare of this torturous existence
nothing's changed
the devastation deep within my soul
nothing's changed

(*wait for last verse)

and the remnant of despair.
