The Darkness Within

I want to be free,1

But I feel so confined2

So restricted.3

Someone help me,4

Someone save me.5

I can't escape this life he's compelled me to live.6

I cry everyday7

Wishing to die,8

Wishing it wasn't like this,9

Wishing I didn't have to wish.10

Living seems so useless11

When there’s no one there12

To live for13

When there’s so much hurt14

To bare15

So lonely I feel16


I loved him17

And He loved me18

All seemed perfect19

I never cried20

I never wanted to die21


Love22

What a lie23

It does nothing but hurt24

It pained my heart25

It blackened my soul26


It started n an ordinary day27

Waiting for him to come28

Last happiness I felt29

He walked in the door30

Screaming and yelling31

The stinging in my cheek32

I still remember33


Later that night34

Through the window he came35

Whispering sweet nothings36

“It’ll never happen again” he said37

How naive I was38

I believed every word39


It never stopped40

Over and over41

Blue and black42

Pale completion43

Couldn’t eat,44

Couldn’t sleep45

Nightmares haunting my dreams46

All I ever felt was sadness47

All I ever said was stop48


Many months I stayed49

The pain I endured50

I never left him51

To much love I held52

To many memories I’d cherished53


It was too late now54

I was in too deep55

It would never end56

Even dying wouldn’t end it57

Hollow inside58

Already slipped into the darkness59


These are my last words60

My last strength61

I feel my body slowly losing control62

Insanity is my only option63

The option I refuse64

How does one die,65

With no soul66

And no heart?67

How does one die,68

When they’re already dead inside?

    This is pushing my no abuse rule, but I really don't care. It wasn't sad, it wasn't angry, it was I donno, painful? As though emotion has been worn out and all that was left was nothingness...
    Wonderfully written. Good luck in my contest.

    I love it. It was exactly what I wanted. Finalist list, definitely. I loved every bit, how it played out slowly but surely, the word choice. Great write.
