A faded wish too long in time was spent
Sitting beneath the shadowed heart
At loss with what remains, broken yet undefeated
Curled into nothing, little more, than what we sought
What I sought
Feelings are devoid now
An empty shell in my wake
Groping, hoping, feeling for some truth
Yet truth is bare: my heart is plain
Ripe were those memories
Still fresh in my mind
The eternity that follows will never be the same
Undone, I feel, or so I hope
Anything is better than this place
At least, in emptiness, I can be released
This time I'm not undone
A mournful shell: a stranger to myself
To what I know?
Love! Where have you gone?
Into the faded pictures of my imagination
And forever, it may remain,
in that darkness I call home.
Please tell me what you think

I love the last line set of lines. So final. So haunting. Exactly grabbing that feeling.
The repeated use of the word shell helps bring that empty, void feeling to the reader's memory. Numbness.
Among the hardest things in life is when love cannot be coaxed into loving back.
