Forever

I am empty of tears nor will welcome again my wounded wonderings each night up the staircase to my despair drunk on the elixir of my pain love ended and we will go with it when I stare down the curved handrail of timeless eternity naked, alone...covered in blood by my hand's work blood dripping from the blade of insanity plunged into your frozen heart where you'll sleep...forever as I throw my worn-out body down the stairs of death into endless black freed from the painful emptiness you claimed each night when I climbed the staircase like a slave to the tortured duty of worthless love filled with hate-filled disgust that has taken...both our lives 10/12/19 contest Nude, descending a staircase

Dark despair on full display Frederic, very different from your romantic writes which I always enjoy. Congrats on an excellent write!

I am sorry I missed this my true friend. It is a wonderment to me, how many hearts and their stories are untreasured, but you and I know this is the reality of life. There are many writers I read here who are good writers - however, your words are always exceptional, left-field and impact the black void with pure honesty and truth. Of course, you have a gift. It is the strongest path to you, for those who care. L x You do not need my congratulations at all.

A well done trip down the dark side of the staircase. Some very nice use of line breaks to accent the torment and outcome. Thanks for entering the contest
