In the end there was the darkness
and the darkness consumed
it gripped hold and squeezed
leaving nothing but emptiness
and loneliness in its wake
In the end there was the sadness
and the sadness pressed in
it enveloped and smothered
leaving tears and longing
and grief as it took hold
In the end there was the anger
and the anger burnt hot
it parched and blistered
leaving blackness and ugliness
and nothingness when it expired
In the end it became unbearable
In the end..... no one even cared
In a list

This reminded me of that old line, "Not with a bang but a whisper." I'm not sure if you're referring to a relationship or something larger by this (life on earth) but either way, this is the way it usually ends. There's a lot of wailing and moaning and gnashing of teeth but when it's all over, it's as if it never happened, just stillness. And time keeps moving on. Powerfully written.

I wrote this about 2 weeks before J & I split, I keep reading it now and can't beleive it was me that wrote it. I'm glad I did though, it makes me realise just how bad it was. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going outside to fly a kite :-) Can't you just see me wrapped up in a tree like Charlie Brown saying 'oh good grief'

In The End, It was overall purrfect....
This poem interested me because the title is the same a song by Linkin Park, which I love, love, love that song, and In The End that was a great poem.

This is very powerful. The repetition moves smoothly through the poem effortlessly. It's a sad reality from a pessimistic point of view, something more and more people can relate to.
May I make one suggestion? On the final line, I don’t think the word “but” serves enough purpose, in my opinion it may sound as ‘good’ or smoother without “but” being there.
"In the end it became unbearable
in the end...no one even cared"
Thanks for sharing.

It's a very big ending, the way you have it here, very dramatic but it's true that in the end no one cares. I take it it's about a relationship, I felt, a big, emotion filled, sweeping relationship as if the lovers were titans or something, it should do well if you read it in public.

BEAUTIFULLY EXPRESSED!!!!!
Oh how I know how one can become so sad and yet so angry also, and it is at these times when we are most alone as no one really wants to know us when we feel this way.

i really like this poem the way it is written...it is like walking along with the emotions that capture your attention...all the very best...

*hugs* I know what you mean by this poem. All of the hurt, the anger and pain, but the thing is no one really cares. *hugs*

I had a boss once that said, there is no point complaining about anything, because half the people don't care and the other half are GLAD!! Thanks for your comment :-)
