when you seek the shadows
I will no longer be there
every movement emphasis's
another moment stripped
Stumbling through darkness
my hands can't find a hold
Plummeting faster, free falling
visions of past cycle about
what was, what is, what could be
no longer exists behind closed doors
the dark abyss is around another
corner, closing you in, keeping life out
blood rises within the inner shell
gurgling abounds from within
executions taking place tonight
as another door is closing
Heart and soul can't be touched
the door has been dead bolted shut
Emotions and feelings no longer exist
they have been swallowed by the great abyss.

Good job.

Great take on the prompt. I looked and hadn't a clue where to take it. You found a way to express such emotion in this that one could feel the emptiness taking hold. Well done and best to you sis.

I could really feel this one, so much emotion embedded in your words. A great take on the picture with a nice flow to your words. Powerful expressions here that read very convincingly. But don't shut that door just yet. There's some of us that want to be on the other side with you.
