Desires to be Empty

No longer afraid of death, no longer afraid of what it means to die.
She weeps; no longer afraid of what comes after life.

Her fear has left her; replaced by desperation.
She’s like a stone basin, cold and blank.

Nothing can change her now.
She too far gone to reach.

Her happiness has died,
everything she’s ever loved washed away with the rain.

She sits in a void,
staring blankly at the world though she doesn’t see a thing.

A thousand things race through her mind,
like what she could have done.

Why’d it have to end like this?
It all seems so unfair.

Everyone is gone and she is left to think,
so many things race through her mind.

They had made her so happy,
although she never belonged in their world.

They were so different,
and she fell madly in love.

She wanted to stop crying, to stop screaming out in pain;
what she wanted was to die.

For it all to go away,
to never feel again;
it would be amazing.

To see her loves again,
she can’t bear the pain of missing them.

The pain is worse than you could imagine,
It’s pricking her like a thousand pins.

Her love had died along with all emotion,
to commit so many sins.

And as she weeps,
she feels so empty.

    Overall it's a good poem, it's just on a cliche topic and nothing terribly new was introduced. One thing I can definitely say is that the ending is great. It's simple, but it's really effective. Thanks for sharing.
