Eternal Emptiness

[DeadlySilence]

I’m losing touch...
My grip on life is slipping...
The world has become so dark...
I don’t know who I am
Or where I am anymore...

As I look myself in the eyes,
All I see is an eternal hollowness,
Not a soul.
Look for yourself,
Can you see the emptiness?

I’m curled up
In the smallest ball possible,
And I’m smiling in pure fear.
A great silence has fallen upon me,
But I believe that I’m fine.

Deep inside my soul is skipping Heaven
And going straight to Hell.
Can’t you see I’m no longer breathing?
These eyes that once cried, shall never cry again...
These wrists that were once cut open, shall never bleed again...

Wow, such depth into this poem, and such great choice of words and phrases. Wow, this one is great, I really like it and can totally relate. I am in aw with almost every phrase you put in here. I think it also flows well. Very nicely written

I to enjoyed the choice of words. The words alone told the story itself. It had a feel to it. It spoke with it's own voice. Very heart touching.
