Seven

It took hold briefly;
Only seven tears were shed,
Only seven tears escaped,
And then I felt ok.

Not sure how to feel;
Only finding reasons not to,
Only seven moments pass,
And nothing seems to stay.

Only in times of weakness
Do I seem to care or
Be affected by the
Everyday affliction...

... Of loneliness.

Only seven minutes,
Seven thoughts of misery.
Seven pieces of my soul,
Only seven tears escaped.

Only seven moments,
Seven broken feelings....
Seven new cracks in my heart,
Seven screaming reasons...

... Not to want to feel.

You should have seven words on every line, or something, just for effect.
