Chasm of Darkness
Every night I lie awake,
And everyday I see, Only darkness, Darkness that threatens me, Frozen tears stream down my face, At least they seem to do, For when I go to look at them, I can’t see black for blue, Loneliness seeps through my heart, And sets my soul on fire, Leaving me black and burnt, With an aching desire, I cut myself, With a handy knife And let the blood stream free Hoping that it will run from me, And eventually set me free.

The blood streams warmly
down my severed wrist and I think back to all the love I've missed I can feel the end beginning the end to all the pain I greet it gladly with nothing else to gain Then the end is all too near and I begin to quail all the hate and damaged pride all the anger fails I need the blood to stop I need to terror to end and every stream of blood looks like me. Little me, And it is laughing at me and the pain is no more and the end is seen and I see no more My sight is gone all feeling ceased my mind is reeling and it is too late and I am done and I want to scream but it is too late too late for any love too late for hope as the darkness, the final darkness descends

Wow. Now you finish each others poems?
No, really. Very emotional poems. I love them. They touched me deeply. I have no words.

Thanks. It took alot for me to post my one. I wrote it at the start of last week, when I was feeling really depressed. It just came from the heart.
And Beor's - well I'll let him explain that. But I'm happy with his as well. Finished mine off very well.

The overall meter could use some touching up. Some of the segments rhyme quite well, though.
It is an emotionally strong poem. |

Not much explanation, Lal's poem inspired the words, and I typed them down. She set the mood, and I just did what I though was good with it. I didnt really ask either, so I am glad you dont mind . Thanks for hte compliments as well, though, but it was mostly Lal anyway.
