In my loneliness I break
As my heart profoundly aches
The night is dark and I remain hopeless
I’m the embodiment of a thousand insecurities
And a million fears but I will never expose them
To you as you cannot comprehend
That I live in my own despair
You didn’t handle me with care
Now I’m permanently scared and that is not fair
You know better than me that I am too rare
But you are more afraid when you compare
And now you can never repair
With your blade you deeply carve scars
Across my pale rotting face
You tear my heart out
Rip it apart with your bare hands
As the blood drips down,
Poking through
With your bleeding needle
It stings, it hurts
I am torn
I beg you to stop
But you stay quiet
And with your silence
I feel tortured
I miss you quite terribly,
All I ever want is your caress
But you chose to run a million miles so
Give me back your knife
Run the blade through me a million times
For all of my worthless rhymes
Or let me hold your gun
Hit the trigger and then you can run,
Runaway into another tormented life.
Author notes
My advice to you for writing dark poetry is to look back at what and who have hurt you in the past and why. Listen to dark music. Imagine what hurts you the most at the moment. Imagine what you want to do to someone. How your sadness feels. How you want to portray your anger.
