I walk through a dark filled hall
Hearing whispers in the wall.

When all at once that I ponder
On a gaping hole in the floor.

I jump in to see what may
I see nothing, but I hear.

I hear hatred and sorrow no doubt
On this dream I came about.

A villian none as he
For it was death that seek me.

I cringed and feared for what's to come
But it be nothing for I'm alone.

This place I wish not to visit
For that is where my nightmares roam.

I am... Truly Alone,

In this dark abyss, be my grave
That which I call Home!

This is so dark...Dark and beautiful. Its wonderful. Reading this helps me know I am never alone, someone else understands that pain--which is ironic with the line "I am... Truly Alone." Thank you for sharing this Ryan, and as always, keep writing, love :)

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I'm glad that spark lit a flame in your soul. Don't let it die, because you're a wonderful person.

This was my very first poem that I fell in love with while writing. This is the spark that lit the flame in my sould to write how I do.

I've felt like this...and all I can say is another great poem of your other great and amazing poems. The only thing I disagree with you in your poem is...you're not alone. Not truly alone, even if you feel like it. Thank you for sharing your heart.
