Bodies lay crumpled
Dreams are shattered
Spirits are broken
Hearts are torn apart
Dreading what happens next
Remembering those who
Have come and gone
Only memories keep you sane
On the brink of death
Waiting for it to come
Hoping it happens soon.
A prisoner in my own mind.

I'm loving the last line. It really ties the entire poem together well.
"only memories keep you same" is great as well.
The short lines add a special something to it, makes it all seam more desperate.
Good job
