Metaphorical Dark

Ok this is my way to reconnect with AP after having a bit of leave there for a while.
what I'm after is a poem that uses metaphors effectively to create a dark outlook.

I'm allowing prewrites simply because I understand how hard it can be to think of things on the spot but I don't want anything entered. If i find things that have nothing to do with the TWO things i have asked i will remove you. I also remove poems from contests if i feel they have not put in their best work.. eg. spelling mistakes, bad punctuation etc.

I look forward to your entries and giving you a proper review i advise if you don't like constructive critism don't enter my contest

Cheers,
Em
