Vortex of Pain

Life is a vortex of pain,
Coiling into the abyss.
To never kill the spirit,
But to cause grief infinite.
Yet with death pain abated,
My mind cleared of all its woe,
I shall rest six feet below.

This is an edit of a poem I wrote a LONG time ago. Figured I'd post it here for everyone to enjoy. I wasn't sure what form it was, if anyone knows, please leave the info in the comments. It has 7 lines each with 7 syllables.
