Much less angst. Even, a bit metaphorical. Tell me what you think.

Question

Doom and gloom

Waves crash.

Eyes that see nothing

Not the foam of the sea.

Ears that hear nothing

Not the tide, that breaks.

Lips, that touch, and are touched

And do not feel the spark

Fingers, caress

And find no purchase.

The heart,

Hollow, aching

Searching, seeking.

For something else.

A distraction from the pain.

A riptide of hope.

A wave of forgiveness.

In the endless ocean.

Swimming these waters

Not the first time, not the last.

Fighting the battle against

The ocean, that wants me to lose

That wants me to fail

And drown, and give in to tumult

My memories of you

Should weigh me down.

Should push me under

Like lead weights, 'round my ankles

Instead, they keep me afloat

Though you're gone

And with you

Went my heart

Aching, but numb

Solid, pain

My heart hopes

My eyes sting

My ears throb

My lips ache

Answer 1

Some great lines, but also meter problems, even for free verse.  If you haven't already, try reading the words out loud as you pen to hear their rhythm. An example, read yours then read this:

Swimming these waters

again and again

I would look at stanzas 2,5,10,12 and 14 and see if you cannot make them flow better.  You can also tighten this up by removing excess words such as "the" "a' and other prepositions, etc. Developing a poem takes time and editing.  Your have a good start, keep at it.
