A stark and twisted inner space
Full of terrors undefined
That rend my soul and cloud my mind
Where wraiths of things that used to be
Come each night to torment me
They gather in my darkened room
To sneer and snigger in the gloom
And I am forced to see again
All the suffering and pain
Of those I’ve driven to despair
When all they ever did was care

I come from a dark place
Of endless fears I cannot face
How I long to be at peace
How I yearn for sweet release
For a world of dark malignancy
Has risen up to swallow me
A desolate world of suffering
Filled with dreadful whispering
All hope dies as I descend
Into darkness without end
And though I scream there’s no one there
No one left to know or care

A Dark Place

Topic: DarkPoetry

I come from a dark place
A stark and twisted inner space
Full of terrors undefined
That rend my soul and cloud my mind
Where wraiths of things that used to be
Come each night to torment me
They gather in my darkened room
To sneer and snigger in the gloom
And I am forced to see again
All the suffering and pain
Of those I’ve driven to despair
When all they ever did was care

I come from a dark place
Of endless fears I cannot face
How I long to be at peace
How I yearn for sweet release
For a world of dark malignancy
Has risen up to swallow me
A desolate world of suffering
Filled with dreadful whispering
All hope dies as I descend
Into darkness without end
And though I scream there’s no one there
No one left to know or care
