The Never-Ending Pit of Darkness

by Kayla Sonya Dearing   May 16, 2008


Gazing up at the moon
A breeze was carried across my body
A tear rolls along my cheek
I misplace all sight of reality

Falling against my knees
Falling into a never ending pit
Trying to grasp myself
But everything I grasp goes through my fingers.

On my knees
Tears found striking against soil
As the heart bleeds
Bleeds for this passion to fade.

Hands shaking against the soil
Tears hitting against the soil
My heart falling from my chest
My heart has ended up in a never ending pit of sorrow.

The moon has faded away
On my knees in entire shadows
Another teardrop rolls down my face
Another grasp has gone through my fingers once again.

Lifting myself up from the ground
Once more I have plunged harder than before
Looking up at the night sky
Looking for the moons light

The sun no longer lights up the moon
The moon has at last hidden behind the clouds
And there I rest in the earths soil
Tears shedding from my blinded eyes

The eyes that could see the beauty everything had
Has now become blinded to entire darkness
How could I fall into this never-ending pit
How could I find myself alone in this world once again

Tears rolling off my cheeks
Tears striking against the earths brown soil
Not once did I see this coming
And now Im falling into a never ending bottomless pit of darkness.

    I feel like this poem was inspired by a total eclipse of your heart . It breaks my heart to know you are not happy at this most celebrated time of the year, though I must give you a 5/5 for your candid sharing

    Nice poem. It has a lot of elements that almost make it great. In parts it hits you like a little hammer wrapped in velvet.

    This stanza is a good example of what works and what interferes with the flow throughout the poem. Where the lines are short and repeditive, it rolls out like a prayer, or a mantra. But I think the longer lines get in the way a bit. Only my humble opinion, but I reckon if you could find a way to shorten some of those longer lines, and emphasize that dull beating of a breaking heart, this wcould be brilliant. An honest four stars.
