Steps to Nothingness

by loretta Taylor   Jul 25, 2006


Steps to Nothingness

Loneliness surrounds me
In a shrouded mist
Unable to see clearly
Jagged cliffs
One step, It'll be over
Would you mourn
When I'm gone?

Empty dreams
Hope extinguished
Love never existed
Elusive quicksilver
Fantasy for fools
My end will come
By my own rules

Shattered dreams
A broken heart
A writhing soul
Aching to depart
Jagged cliffs
One...more...step
Blessed nothingness

    Ooooh, quite a haunting write. I like the whole jagged cliffs, really adds an element of hopelessness.
    Also the way you crafted the ending, quite nice. Take care and keep it up~Holly
