Night Terrors

Outside the world turns black, inside I sit alone.

I know they are coming for me,

I hold no intention of putting up a fight.

The nightmares of my past, reborn.

To die would be more inviting.

Crushed beneath my body weight in sadness.

Fear eating at my gut.

My soul soaked in liquor,

My heart starving for hope,

And me,

Knowing that there is none.

These are the nights.

You wont want to travel them alone.

Reviews

Deep, dark, occult and yet with a lovely bite. A sign of emptiness, but with hope still... You must totally know dark, to know nor appreciate light. I think we can shake hands. Thank you for just being you, instead of all the ones who are just writing about the flowers, and the sun and the bee's, and some lovely trees. Appreciated.

Raw and Dark........ Waiting for the rays of hope when the dark lies within.....
It's your feelings that you have penned down masked as poetry.....
Well, its good and ...ummmmm..... gloomy i would say.... you get a 10 on 10...

Strong description allow the reader to feel the pain and fear.
"My soul soaked in liquor,
My heart starving for hope,
And me,
Knowing that there is none."
No weakness in this amazing poem. Thank you.

Once you surrender, the fight is not worth it. The harsh reality of realizing what life is brings us to this existence. Powerful, harsh reality.

Very good poem full of dark images and a foreboding sense of doom. My favorite kind. Nice writing .

And here I was hoping this was going to be about alien abduction!

Outside the world turns black/ inside I sit alone/I know they are coming for me

Those lines drew me in alone...the whole poem is outstanding in its dark place. I've felt this pain before. Great write.

[Forest Green]

Chilly poem...much to wonder about. It seems the route to destruction is described quite vividly in your poetic lines..

Well done...
