Hollow Heart

Look into my heart,
I am hollow inside.
It has been utterly destroyed
in one single day.

Words hurt like pins,
needles, and daggers
plunging into my soul,
twisting and turning.

Alone in the darkness,
lost in the labyrinth.

Continuing the path,

completely on my own.

How well you have expressed your sentiments in these few lines; good flow and so raw and hurting. Pain is front and center. Congrats on the HM in this contest.
