I have no idea if anybody will remember this... or if it has been posted, but me and a pal wrote this... a long time ago. Enjoy.

Sorrow, depressed, lifeless, and fearful
Why?
The hatred...
Hatred?
Those memories...
Memories?
Past, horrible thoughts lingering
Untimely death
Broken, torture, sad
Faceless, blind, blocked, rage underneath meaningless skin

Piercing heartaches
Headaches
Stupid fights and arguments
Pieces of painful, broken words
Our trust is gone forever

Why...?
Because the shattered images
Within forgiveness
Was ripped away from sweethearts

Emotionless souls are burning with desires
Lust
Lying believes
True factors
Terrible rumors
Unforgivable, exaggerating tales

Weeping blood
Unfixable scratches are cut in deeply
We are puzzled, dazed, unloved
Our imaginations vanished
Our destinies eternal hero has died
Our chances gone forever

Crying within dying darkness
Hating selfish, greedy
Black snakes
Constricting, poisoning our sight

Personal secrets were told outside
Thoughtlessly, painfully, maliciously

Both our hearts, punctured
Again the trust is forgotten
Love-hate relationship
Perennial, ferocious feelings
Adjusted to the malice

Hold onto peace within
Know the truth in myself
For I am a selfish, blind corpse
On interstate 95

Behind my skin there is no numbness
To ease this pain, there isn’t
An antidote or cure
To numb this ache

I can't feel love
No sharing joy throughout family and friends
Backstabbing, heart-breaking, hair-raising climax
Written all in ink and permanent tears
Scratching thorns
Tearing screams
Shattering like glass within my dreams.

:D Blew me away...I like it a lot. I didn't find anything wrong graamaricaly, but I'm terrible at grammar/poetry structure, so I wouldn't be the one to ask. :(

No punctuation killed it for me - I couldn't read it properly. There seems to be no flow. No rhythm. No underlying ideology or thought that keeps it going. You need to take the original reason for writing this and put it down in a better way. Punctuate it like a story. Work it out so the reader can understand it better and read it more easily.
