The black entombment of my heart
Does beckon to the call of death
For you have torn my life apart
And stole the warmth of life's sweet breath
You left an emptiness inside
A void of blackness in the night
Through hours of tortured pain I cried
As you laughed in your dark delight
I have conceded to your whims
You were my solace and my truth
And as this razor cuts my limbs
I lose the innocence of youth
Sweet kisses wrenched away my soul
As I gave myself unto you
Now I'm left incomplete, unwhole
See now what you have put me through?
I cannot laugh, nor dance, nor sing
Whilst fading into nothingness
As once you were my everything
I now bid welcome death's caress.
Author notes
I felt like writing a poem of mockery related to emo people and their frenetic, pedantic cries for attention through shows of self-loathing and their affinity for exaggerating the pitiful woes in their lives, all while making a point of being "different."
