a dark place

By BlackWinterIris

awake with nothing to abate the raging agony running through my veins
convicted for my listless soul, the thoughts i had are left for people to delineate
the little drops pricking my eyes are becoming heavier and i get up with an urge i can't restrain
i reach for the only thing i had left, incisive yet warm to the touch
the little remorse i had left in me turned stagnant as the familiar feeling returned to my broken vessel
looking up from the acrid smell i find myself rambling in my own dark night
lost in the beauty surrounding me that I felt like I couldn't even control my own feet, It's like it was guiding me around. As it was taking me slowly to an even darker place and I couldn't turn back.
I was consumed by curiosity and fear
and humming lullabies that it seemed like only I could hear
i reach the end of the line over a bottomless hill and everything i ever held dear seemed to vanish into the night
as i step closer my corpse felt free for the first time
then i'm falling, falling with no ground to stop my fall

    “Awake with nothing to abate the raging agony running through my veins” yeah, me too. I like how you describe the progression (or regression) into layers of blackness. It’s subtle, yet overwhelming. This was nifty
