Disesteem
Painful embers stab the dark
Of pain too rich to bear
Callous flames, beguile a heart
Left stained by acrid air
Dreams denied by rancid thoughts
On lips too vain to care
Lifetimes lost in frozen eyes
A soul beyond repair

This is very eloquent and seems to capture the mood so well that I wish it would progress to resolve the state reached (and become a meditative poem).
