To hides ones face in vain attempt disguise
The sorrow shining from thy face and eyes
What sorrow’s this, that tears a heart apart
And wrenches cries, unknown, from deep your soul
How can one feel this burning, ripping fire
And yet stay whole and walk upon the earth
Is purpose here, where footsteps once did fall
It seems it hides elsewhere
Nothing is here
More than nothing
?
Loss.
Heart wrenching. Wrenching cries. Crying tears.
Hide your face away
Nothing is all there is now
O melancholy

This is just my take on format using your words and it's just one of many ways of doing it and of course it's just my opinion etc etc. Welcome to ABC by the way.
To hides ones face, (To hide one's face)
In vain attempt disguise
The sorrow shining
From thy face and eyes.
What sorrow’s this,
That tears a heart apart
And wrenches cries unknown
From deep your soul(?)
How can one feel this burning,
Ripping fire and yet stay whole
And walk upon the earth(?)
Is purpose here,
where footsteps once did fall(?)
(Nothing is here,
it seems it hides elsewhere)
(and) more than nothing loss.
Heart wrenching, wrenching cries.
Crying tears.
Hide your face away(,)
Nothing is all there is now.
O melancholy.
