The Darkness
I stand-alone in this dark place nowhere left to go in this world. Nothing left to live for, no one who cares. I ask myself, Why dont you just end it all? So I stumble in the darkness, I search for that knife that I so long ago threw away. I see it lying there on the floor next to me. I bend down to get it; it slides away from me, going further into the darkness. I run searching for it, tripping over some unseen object. I look around a little more, and suddenly theres light. It shines on that unseen object. I look and its a dead body, I turn the body over and scream as I recognize the face. I cry and tell the corpse that Im sorry and that I did love him. My tears and apologies fall on deaf ears though and now I know that I really have nothing left in life. I lost the love of my life to the rotten things that come along, the way I never learned to appreciate him and his love. I wonder how he got there in the darkness with me; I should be there alone, no one is supposed to be there Im a bad person thats why here. The light goes out and Im once again scared. I wonder where the knife went to. I walk a little further making sure that theres not another surprise for me, I step on the knife and I look down. I can see the steel glint in the darkness that surrounds me. I pick it up and look at it. I turn around and try to find my way back to the corpse of my dead lover.
Great, Ive lost myself again, damnit I hate this darkness! I look around wondering if theres a way out. After what seems like hours I realize that theres no way, well there is one way. The knife. Its still there in my hand, I forgot all about it, I look up crying againbut theres no one to hear me or to see the tears.
I talk into the darkness
Why? Where was God when I needed Him? Where were You? You left me alone. I find someone who loves me and I cant have him becoz Im evil and You dont want it to be. Everyone laughs at me for the things that Ive done or the way I look, how could You allow such cruelty into your perfect world? I alwayz believed in You but then you condemn me to this darkness.this cold, dark place. Why? Just tell me why!!!!!!!!!
And with that I clutch the knife in my hand and hold it over my wrist. I feel the cold steel biting into my flesh, cutting my delicate skin. Busting the veins in my wrist, letting the blood flow free. I think its almost over all of it, the laughs, the loneliness, and the cruelty. I feel myself getting weak; I fall to the groundright next to my dead lover. That special love that I killed so long ago without realizing it. I clasp my hand in his, feeling the cold, dead fingers entwined in mine. I lay his head on my chest and in the last moments I play with his hair, then I fall into a deep sleep, never to awake again.

Wow..this is really dark!!! It would have been easier on the eye, tho, if it was written in paragraphs...(but that is just my view)

Cold and very dark, so much pain so much grief, and it sounded so real.
This was an excellent write, you bought a realism to your work that sent chills down my spine. |
