Fallen Into Darkness

I'm a dark void, my shadow casts its own shadow
And I'm too much of a coward to even try and turn back
I'm so bleak, because I've managed to create a new breed of sorrow
And I'm such a fool to even attempt to move out and into the blinding black

My mere gaze can darken the brightest tomorrow
That must be why I am destined to remain here forever
My life is unaware that death is what I yearn to give into
That's another reason to sever every bond for the better

I vowed to myself that I wouldn't take you down with me
Your kind strength and light is what I can no longer borrow
I am nothing but a doubled-edged sword, it is what I will always be
I'm regretfully swaying away from the promised path that I used to follow

But I assure you that I will be alright
So please remember you did everything you could
But I've already made up my mind
And you said every hopeful word you should

Now you need to let me go, and continue on with your burdenless life
You really didn't want to give up on me, but I always knew you would
Now you will no longer worry, because from now on everything will be fine
You tried your very best to help me, but your hope is what I have never understood

You need forget about me as best as you can
Because this battle is lost
It's that time now where your hand can no longer be lent
Because I am a dying cause

Good bye, my dear friend
I'm so sorry to see us go, but sometimes life can be heartless
Hello, the bitter end
Alas, I have finally fallen into darkness
:iconhollowfiedlife:
You let go of me, but I don't resent you
Because you did everything you had to

I'm not really good at writing critiques so...here it is!



All I can say is...wow! Because this poem that you wrote was very deep and it felt like it just touched your soul and the fact that everyone in some point of their lives they might feel this way, like they're lost in the darkness or somehow fallen into the darkness and they try their best to look for the light such as hope and faith and the picture pretty much sums it up of what losing hope looks like this poem is very powerful and you perfectly grasp the feeling of sinking into the darkness
What do you think?

You are always pulling me into the poem and going with you on the sad journey of pain and frustration which is a part of so many people's lives...Now..I am in love with the so called "conversation" to the other person or yourself?
It is easy to follow and I have a safe place for you..if you want to come in..Amazing sweetheart! Love YA!! Brenda;)

It's not really a 'conversation' type poem, even though it seems that way now that you pointed it out :P
What it is, is the one who is falling is saying good bye to the person who was trying to save them, so initially it's just one person speaking through out the whole poem. Just one point of view kind of.
Thank you for your support, you have no idea how much you're doing for me! <3 :')
