Nothing
Dangling from a silken thread
a finely woven spiders web
some claim nothing is for free
yet nothing has a crushing cost
the final tab for every loss
a toll the often goes unseen
it seems that the sharpest knives
hide themselves in loving eyes
rending cuts so clean and deep
another wound, another scar
another brutal Au Revoir
another storm leaves you lost at sea
clinging to a fraying rope
nothing stealing the last rays of hope
nothing is the farthest point south of free
The darkness has found its way back in again
darkness my familiar friend
until the time when nothing frees me

Nice stuff...
I know that you aren't actively editing, but I would try to re-work the last line to have the free and me switched around. ~ Geez.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

Good point I think I like better ending on me instead of free

Sadness throughout this poem is all I see.. Well written but heartwrenching
