Dark Abyss

Dark Abyss

 

~

 

 

My soul is a dark abyss in which I am being sucked into

My arms, a bloody, dripping wet, mess make a puddle below my feet

 

Smeared make-up melts and slides off of my face from the

Heat of the fire before me.

 

You know, it’s funny, I often wonder how I came to arrive at this point

What went wrong and how I could’ve saved myself

 

But it’s too late.

 

I’ve come too far.

There’s nothing I can do now.

There’s no going back for me

 

All I can do is watch as I am broken down,

Piece by piece

Torn from limb to limb

Burned down to my very core.

 

I envy those who have a life.

I despise the optimistic that can smile with so much ease.

I pity the fool who will miss me.

I hate life, and life hates me.

 

It’s just that simple.

 

You’re just gonna stand by and watch me burn

But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts

 

This pain that sears through me…

It’s unlike any other. It is by far the best

I’ve felt in a long time.

 

I don’t want it to end,

And thankfully it won’t. Not this time.

 

A demented smile, I carve into my face

My shoulders shaking with my silent laughter

 

I’m going insane,

I’m losing my mind

But I don’t want to get it back.

 

The world was never a good place for me

I have no say here

I feel so left out, so lost

 

My real home is in the center of the Earth

Where I shall burn in the fires of Hell according to my wishes

According to my sins.

 

The fire is getting bigger now,

It’s consuming my body and soul

But I can’t help but smile one last time

As I’m being swallowed into it.

 

Goodbye, I scream to this world

This crude, cold place

 

I have no doubt that you’ll ruin another’s life,

Just as you’ve ruined mine.

Hello Kristen,

Just watched your "Mad Hatter" video and I like you already.

This poem appeals on many levels, especially the lines:

A demented smile, I carve into my face
My shoulders shaking with my silent laughter

Such a dark, deviant image, and yet, I can't help but want to relate to it. Good stuff, Kristen. And thanks for your wonderful reviews of my work.

This was a good poem. I feel like I'm going into an abyss all the time. I really think that the emotion in this was perfect for what the poem was about. Thanks for sharing.

As always, wonderful imagery. I feel that the descriptions in this poem definitely sing. The dark theme is always done by poets, but I've yet to read a poem by you that doesn't fall into another cliched category.

[Coyote Poetry]

A powerful poem. I like the flow of words and story. Remind me of a battle to feel peace in the mist of only sadness. So many strong lines in this poem. Sometime we fall into hell and learn to accept the location. A outstanding poem filled with anger.

I think it's wicked. Very wonderfully created, intriguing. I do have one correction however, and that is the line,
"torn from limb to limb" I think would sound better "torn limb from limb"

Altogether, very good write, a good visual of 'hell'.

Hello Kristen,

You seek warmth from a cruel cold world and you find it in the grasp of flames. Does the smoke dance before your body as the temperatures warm? I don't think I have seen anyone ask for hell....You must suffer deeply. For that I am sorry. But look upon the flames as a new baptism into a life that will be much more......exciting.

Course, I could just be a psychopath helping in the deliquency of a suffering soul. Oh the sweet suffering.....There is nothing like the pleasures that one will receive from pain, there is no greater escape.

I will tell you what I told myself long ago....if you can't lose the demon....then use her.

Always and Painfully
