Burning Depths

Cold wet snow covers the ground as I walk to an unknown destination. Cold, wet and angry I walk where no one dares walk on a starless night. 

Into the grave yard I walk, hands in pockets reveling in the dark beauty of death. Love and life have ups and downs, but death...Death is always down. Down, 6 feet under. Under the cold earth. I couldn't handle death, for then I would be buried, and then I would not, could not see the stars. The beautiful, twinkling stars.

Would my spirit fly away or would it sink? Far and deep into the dark depths of the earth, Into the molten core? Where I would stay and burn? Burn until their was nothing left? Or is their something better? Would I wander around among the living, cursed to a existence of haunting?

These thoughts poison my anger, making it shrivel. Then fear grows, fear of death, of the future. If I don't fix my problems will I end up alone? Cold, and alone.

Very good writing. Evocative writing.

[KAREN]

Well written, makes the reader think about death and being alone! Makes one think about their future as well!

[Linear]

There is no beauty in death, only a cold dark place, thankfully a place we will never see, so dark your poem is, I'll go read something light before i turn off the light, great poem or story

A deep bit of work here mortal, very emotional and incredibly interesting too, a nice writing style here, and you display the emotions very well I must say. One thing hiccup that'll take a second to fix and that's "and then i would..." just make that a capital "I" and then you're sorted. Nice work here mortal, well done~
