Alone in the Dark

 

Pain sears through my body as I feel the knife pierce my flesh. My heart is broken and bleeding, my mind is trying desperately to free itself of the agony found inside. Bitter tears flow down my pain stricken face as I come to a realization, a realization that all I want and love is going to hate me...reject me...turn away from me because of my own pride and evil desires.

     The thoughts of my physical pain begin to cease, as do the other workings of my mind. I close my eyes as the tears stop flowing, my heart cold, my soul forever locked away in a body of torment; an unforgiving shell that feels nothing but the darkness of its own heart.

     I replace the knife, well streaked with blood, my hand over my side. I turn to walk away but I stumble, my eyes dimming, my heart racing. Alone I cry out, now aware nobody is there to hear me and nobody cares due to my own stupidity. I take a breath and drop to my knees, crying, broken and bleeding. Alone in the Dark. 

Author's Note

Random thoughts brought about by pain I was going through at the time. This is another old work.

Intense write delving into many emotions. Well done. (:

[Curio Arca]

Despair, agony, and loneliness do a good job of threading this piece together. It's moody, it's emotional, and I enjoyed it very much.

[Cameron Troyer]

A dark, short poem. Very descriptive, you didn't miss a skip a single detail. Enjoyed it, even if it slightly disturbed me.
