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.

Very dark... the imagery here is flawless... I saw it all right in front of me. Although forgive me if I disagree, thinking you should be on the surface with me. :)

Emotion oozes from this as it does from the very author who wrote. Hell is not just a dark abyss. Hell can be crafted from the hands of others and placed into our own. Hell is your own personal place of torment. If you let the world consume you, it becomes your own hell. Darkness consumes my very soul as I read your words of torment. Wishing to help and being unable to rock my core. Such powerful feelings, you have a gift. It would be a shame for such a beautiful talent to be destroyed.
