Darkness( comments silvooplate?)

so if it's shit just tell me but the silence is more unbearable than the poem itself!


My heart is a cave of darkness,
where empty souls are captured,
Then left abandoned an untouched

The cavity of hope is lost in that blackness,
together with emotional charge
and any form of energy or motivation

The faint whispers of feelings
that tentatively appear are shrouded in defensive barriers
 unbreakable by love or attention,

 For the ice has encompassed my whole being,
 as it builds and grows colder its innards slowly
 decay.....  now I am stone.

Can't comment on it as a poem or on its structure as I don't really understand poetry but I like this. It is very bleak the first verse (or is it stanza) was very descriptive. 
Good one

Some good stuff in here, P, but I think a reworking might help. For instance the last stanza opens with ice encompassing and finishes with the narrator turning to stone. I know what you are trying to say but maybe sticking to the original metaphor would help. Maybe also too many abstract imagery. 
It's an ambitious poem which would, imo, be worth pursuing and I do hope you revise this cos I would love to read the revised version.
