Nevermore . . . (Dark and emotional prewrites contest)

Well hello there. I am personally a fan of prewrites. Sometimes we write our best stuff for contest and then want to use it again.

Well
here's your chance.

But I don't like just ANY poetry. I like DARK and EMOTIONAL poetry. Stuff that appeals to the dark side of my mind or anything that's just raw and emotion and makes me want to cry.

Enter your very best, stuff that you're proud of and stuff that'll just make me go wow!
Any fluffy, happy corn or anything that just isn't up to my standards will be DQ'd.
Points will go up if i get more points.

All right, bring it!

(P.S. No rules! ^^)
