Somewhere Deep Within

Somewhere deep within

where nothing exists at all

is an empty place of pain

slowly consuming me

tearing at my reality

darkness bleeds

an unending flood of crimson terror

I seek relief

on the Plains of Nothingness

but even in this barren place

something does exist

ravens and vultures

circling overhead

waiting for me to be dead

the pain nibbles and devours me

and I lay dead on a vast Expanse of Blank

where the Eaters of the Dead

come to feast

suicide to the other side

just don't forget

to Pay the Ferry Man

Even the Grim Reaper wants to be paid

I agree.
"Somewhere deep within
where nothing exists at all
is an empty place of pain
slowly consuming me
tearing at my reality"
Each of us have our weight to carry. Must put the bad things aside and go forward. I like the honest tone and true outlook of the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

This made me shiver. Very cold and stark and filled with horrifying pain.
Chilling imagery.
Fantastic horror write.

A very dark poem full of coldness and horror.
Outstanding writing. I agree, the ending is a shocker but
not so surprising. It coasts money to do most anything, even die.

Thanks for all the reviews.

Awesome horror poem. What a dark ending, like saying "Death and taxes, the only guarantee in life is death and taxes." Well d one poem.

[Tina Kline]

Thanks, my friend.

[Black Cat Fever]

Wow, darkly beautiful and terrifying. All my hair is standing on end. And the ending, Even the Grim Reader wants to be paid, how cold and depressing. Even in death you need to pay for services. Impressive write.

even in the land of nothingness, there is something ....we just can't escape all the dark realities.

you write "dark" so well, Tina.
