some where deep in the shadows

I did not wish to fear, but Terror came unbidden
Unobstructed She tore through my soul
Scratching screaming…  
Please God let me be dreaming
Grimacing in horror I stare blankly into Her abyss

I did not wish for death, but I was showed an eternity of it
Convulsions wrack my unresponsive body as Her images deepen
Whimpering pleading…
Please Princess let me awaken
Numbness spreads slowly, an impending doom that can not be stopped

Blood falls freely, and a taste of copper intensifies
Violently She hacked all thought of reality
All sense of self lost
Fear passed, as light flooded back
Slowly looking down
A pool of red reflects a pathetic coward


please help me critique it... the ending needs some work at the very least
-lance  

There is no peace among the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the laughter of thirsting gods

I like the imagery. I am not a very good one with critique-ing, i am a more "tell ya how it made me feel" kinda person. ~lol~ I like this. Very awesome.

makes me think of hell.
that what it sounds like.
I liked how you said an eternity of death.
never really thought of it like that.

I think you showed the pain of a break up, from a very unique perspective.
The end, does feel like it could be worked on. But as far as specific pointers, I don't have any right now. I think I will read it a couple more times and see what I come up with.

All the things I felt and thought was basically what Lexy said. The ending, I agree could be better. However the rest sounds very much like hell, dark, very dark. Very good.
