Heracles?

Red liquid poured into metal holes,
Endlessly thirsting holes drinking of life.
Shivers ran through, there would be no Heracles,
No Heracles to save her from the vulture.
Love, hate, anger, happiness washed over her and into the holes.
Nothing awaited her, just as there never was anything.
But her Father always described beautiful things, lies or truths?
Readings filled with horrid things, yet seen glorious.
Was that what awaited her, horrid things, darkness and brimstone?
The Blue Lady may be there, but no, only nothing.
Darkness already spun around her, silence was crushing her.
Shudders stilled, life fled across tile that refused to drink,
Peace was found at last, laying on the cold floor.

Author notes

Heracles is Hercules' Greek name.
Tell me the imagery and things I'm alluding to. I want to see how many are evident.

This is my little gem because I'm always so surprised that I came up with this. The layers that I put on it and that I can see... it just always makes me think that I can be a writer. Also my teacher gave me, this is going to sound stupid but, a ten and two smiley faces for it. A ten in his class is hard to get, one smiley is harder and two is unheard of.

    Just...
    Woah.
    I really enjoyed reading this and the chills that were sent up my spine.
    In my eyes, I see a girl who needs help and attention. That is probably wrong but whatever
    I still really liked this.
