The Vessel Destroys

What was there is gone forever more.
Forever silent the pitiful vessel remains.
I watch the vessel waste its space on the floor;
my soul can feel the passing sorrows stains.

I won’t forgive the thing for what it took;
Its damned eternal sleep has swallowed her whole.
The earth will soon devour all forsook,
The pains of time begin to take their toll.
My mind still hears the things the host once said,
I feel disgust as it bleeds from vessel’s eyes.
I hate the thing from which all worth was shed.
I blame the thing that made her stop her cries.

I see its own damned prophecy fulfilled;
Don’t hug the shell - instead know her its killed.

you have somthing here,,, but it seems a bit difficult in readability. try reading it outloud, and arrange its form differently, or have somone else read it aloud (cold) listen to how it sounds. good images, but it seems the form detracts subtly from it

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
