Nothing beseeches more than darkness
The outer rims of the black Earth
Raw refining nothingness in oblivion
Where no-one desired to reside
Without a hatred for life, that which simmers
Like the fire which lives deeply within
And punctures the soul like brimstone
Would a giant, but without the height
It scars, it sears, it sternly scorches every pore
Of your heart, diving into that darkness
Catching every sickness known, and unknown
Piercing the fragments of one’s body
Blowing up, to burn excruciating pain throughout
Casting shadows over the soul of black
The tar, the lit fuel to corrode every particle
Of your existence, a blood curdling scream
Does not skim the darkness within
Caressing the evil of the fire of damnation
The horrors of the lies and the hatred
Which twist and torture the soulless heart
That which burns, endlessly burns, scorches
And bleeds never-ending as if there is blood
Flowing, but the core is hollow, a chasm
Of soundless darkness, where nothing exists
Of any proportion except pain, painful
Interjections…twisting, gouging, spading
The heart into pieces of black dust
Where the fire has already burned hot
Leaving the endless cry of hatred, pierced
The soul is in agony, just what the darkness
Desired, to end all life, to suffocate love
Into ground up, grotesque, particles of death
To forever live in torment, of this searing fire
Darkness reigns, killing any hope, and leaving
Those with a soul, crushed and devoured
Endlessly suffering the burning hell of death
Russell Sivey
****Author's Note: This poem does not reflect how I feel right now. Though in the past I have felt like this when I was very depressed and life was really rough and terrible for me, but that was a long time ago, I am a lot, a LOT better now and I want everyone to know that I am fine and that is poem is about my past, not now!****
