Poetry: Darkness

At times the body goes lifeless

Not a feeling pulsates through the veins

It knows out of all you've ever dealt with

Is incapable of alteration

There's a creature born within me

It incinerates me from inside'

Creates somewhat an indifference

And kills all that remains alive




It's a wild thing

For it feeds of trepidation

Ameliorates me in a loss of restraint

Darkness perseveres




Repeatedly washed out

Before it becomes worn

I presume ingenuous people

Are just stronger willed

Can think of the consequence

Of letting the wild one seize control

And banish it.




Not me.

Not today.

I fed it.

    Every time you do, your hope is dashed.
    You end up living on loneliness
    And memories of the

    DARKNESS

    The darkness embraces that which it owns
    Every blade of grass and every small stone

    She's faced much darkness in her life,
    Hounded by confusion and strife,
    Ripped apart by shame's sharp edged blade,
    By guilt's
