How Dark Are You

-edit

k, got one. ;]

Dreary Mist.

It's covering my eyes,
I can only see so far.
The outside is b eautiful,
but inside you are..?

It's covering my thoughts,
I think I feel it too.
Just as you do for me,
but I can't tell if it's true.

It's covering my mind,
Only so far I can imagine.
Me with you, well babe,
I don't think ever again.

It's covering my heart,
I can't love any more.
Torn and shattered,
Dear, I'm so so tore.

It's covering my soul,
this dreary mist,
so unimaginable,
just as marks on my wrist.

Ummm I kind of have 7 all together I's and Your's is that ok?

~Death At My Front Door~
Come in stranger
To whom knocked
On my door.
It is 3am
But I am wide awake.

You are dressed in black
Your presents are bone chilling
No meat on your bones,
To what do I own this
Great honor,
Of death at my front door?

My wrists are cut up bad,
My eyes are blood shot
From crying
I screamed your name
Every night and day
And now you are here
To take me away.

You said not a word
But pointed out side
I left my body upstairs
Laying in an ice cold bath.

Allow I write a lot of dark poetry, I find this is the one I am most proud of. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Cannabalism {Double Ottava Rima}

Swimming around, everywhere, blood sets, displaced,
((Chunks)), indescribable matter on the ground,
With a difficult decision you are faced.
Push harder, deeper, more, let your heart resound.
Decide your fate quickly, enjoy the taste.
Listen gently to your screams fall to the ground.
Piece by piece, taste by taste, you'll eat your flesh,
Falling deep within a sleep; your final rest.

Feast upon flesh, so delicate and great,
Breaking skin by teeth - smell the smell so strong,
Cannibalism is your scrumptious fate.
Blood dripping down your face; this can't be wrong,
Looking up at victims with utter hate
For their flesh in your mouth is where it belongs.
Lying around you are skin and broken bones,
Laugh as you break the flesh; hear their final moan.

"Let's Do The Atom Bomb Dance"

Gather around young children
and put on a smiling face!
For today is a day of dying men
and raining radiation all over the place.

Drop the bomb and make a circle around the destruction
look at the magnificent colors of fire and pain!
Laughing and dancing, creating an obstruction,
now let's get the bomb and drop it on Spain.

America, Iraq, Korea, China, Africa,
Mushrooms of flame ascend very quickly.
Dear children over there, come prance with us,
we can even give you some candy.

Nefarious giggles,
malevolent grins,
we watch our world get reduced to scribbles
and now the fires are beginning to melt our precious skin.

Oh, my children, do not cry!
This is nothing compared to what will come!
A kingdom is waiting just for you and I,
a kingdom for worthless fools and other things very gruesome.

Regret

No matter how much you try to let go of things
it always comes back to you
no matter how much you try to forget about the past
you can never move on
its always on the back of your mind
you cry every night
wishing the pain & regret can just leave
But instead it chooses to stay and hurt you deep inside
even though all is forgiven
you still feel the pain
you ask yourself why
as the tears run from your eyes
and find yourself clueless again
looking dumb founded
staring at this girl in the mirror
staring back at you
her eyes full of hatred
and tears full of sorrow
not knowing if theres gonna be another tomorrow

~hope u like it~

Xx-Lilium-xX

Every night,She cried those very tears of fright
She woundered along the blackened sand
Along the path of loneliness,
Searching for the dark man,
That woke her from her rest

Walking along darkened streets
Silent as the passing breeze,
She stumbled as the began to wheeze

Passing into a garden of the departed
She walked,
Her heart empty of what she wanted.

She came to a tall building
No lights to reveal its features
She climbed its rotten sides,
To the top to see what it with held inside.

She stood at the top, the gravel cutting her tender feet.
She had looked to the edge to see what her eyes would meet.
Cold hands carressed her back
She looked to find the dark man

Pushing her over the edge
Her lilium was sung,and nolonger will she be avenged
For her days are done, and time was passed.

~hope you like it , took my days to come up with~

Fight at Darkson Peir

(Chorus)
Hit the sky!
Hit the lights!
Hit everything within your sight
Hit the dirt!
Hit the ground!
Hit everything all around

Bullets rain down
As heads are held high
Hit it, hit the sky
Chaos erupts
In front of your eyes
Hit it, hit the lights

Let hell collapse!
On top of them!
Ignore their screams!
From pain they stem!
Fuck their reasons!
For hurting us!
They questioned our lives!
Now we destroy their trust!

(Chorus)
Hit the sky!
Hit the lights!
Hit everything within your sight
Hit the dirt!
Hit the ground!
Hit everything all around

Blood rises up
As this passes hurt
Hit it, hit the dirt
Brass knuckles gleam
And switchblades are found
Hit it, the the ground

Drive the switchblade inward!
Bloody at the hilt!
Drag it across his body!
Make your presence felt!
Shut off his mind!
With your revolver!
Step in all these puddles!
Blood is everywhere!

Now theres a fight at Darkson pier
As we march forth to our deaths
May no one ever find us
Or clean this bloody mess

(Chorus)
Hit the sky!
Hit the lights!
Hit everything within your sight
Hit the dirt!
Hit the ground!
Hit everything all around

Shadows tracing trees of bloody leaves
Engulfing the Bright moon in brilliant red
Dripping gold from bags of thieves
Watching as bound young witnesses bled
To the night goddess their cry decieves
Who still lives and who will be dead
Oracles crumbled, shimmered and shattered
Pieces of evidence soaring and scattered

Past massacres and abandoned dread
Past serene castles where flowers bloomed
But traces of vain courting still shred
Any other joyful emotion that loomed
To darkness it's blissful smile is fed
It's old memories and future consumed
Till nothing but seeds hid in the ground
Afraid of thirsty demons coming around

Here lies photos revealing inner pain
Gathered from walks near and afar
Every glimmer of hope has been slain
Destroyed by the Idea of who we are
Cast into fire of this forbidding ordain
Burning tints of emotions raw
Mercy shows no pity on these days
Tangled together in decaying dismay

My Living Graveyard

Same night with same darkness all around
and i enter the same house with no-one inside
years have gone by since nothing has changed
and now even my so called flesh has dried

faces of strange visitors roam in every room
painful voices could be heard from all the sides
they all try to speak with my shattered mind
sharing stories of the loved ones who have died

a bright ray of light coming from my door
as i wait for someone to show me sunrise
a mere vision i have almost forgotten
since life's music has turned to silent cries

voices of scratching nails echoes from every corner
feeling numb as i watch my still heart at the backyard
crimson stains glows in the stillness of darkness
far beneath the sacred dust of my living graveyard

"Daughter of a freak"
by The Angel of Secrets

Her hair so awful, her skin so pale,
She always wondered, where did she fail?
Born by a freak, raised as a slave,
No one to guide her, to tell her how to behave.
Years of working, years so dark,
She has never seen light, it has left its mark.
Shut in a room, just going out to clean,
It's the most horrifying thing they'd ever seen.
A key to lock her bedroom door,
Nothing on the walls, nothing on the floor.
No pillow, no bed, no good memories to hold,
No warmth, no love, nothing but cold.
Her mother locked the door, threw away the key,
The girl keeps asking herself "Whats so wrong with me"
Sitting in her room, hearing her mother go out,
She tries to scream, she tries to shout.
Her mother left her behind, in this room to die,
Now she's sitting there, trying not to cry.
She lays down, on the cold hard ground,
Trying to pray, hearing no sound.
Laying there for a couple of days,
in darkness and sadness, down she layes.
She will never raise again, never see the light,
She finally gives up, she will no longer fight.
Her eyes cry of sorrow, her eyes cry of tears,
Suddenly she sees something, an angel appears.
"Come with me, darling, come to the light,
"We will love you, you don't have to fight"
The angel smiles and reaches out her hand,
Where did this come from, she doesn't understand.
The girl reaches out her hand, suddenly starts to soar,
"Don't worry little darling, they won't hurt you anymore"

Rusty Broken Chains [Kyrielle]
by ѕ¢αяℓєт.ℓιρѕ ♥

Climbing on jagged steps from the hell below
Rips and tears throughout her soul she does sew
Her body cleared of dirt, yet a little still remains
All evil she has shed, except her rusty broken chains..

Quickly sucking the deadly poison out of the snake bite
Running from the blackness, chasing after the white
Bleaching away at her mind, washing away the stains
All evil she has shed, except her rusty broken chains..

Her past slowly fading, finally fitting in with the crowd
Cleaning herself up, floating happily on her own cloud
A body now pure and free, yet evil still lingers in veins
All evil she has shed, except her rusty broken chains..

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `
Kyrielle is written in quatrains. Each quatrain has a refrain, which usually appears in the last line of the stanza. There is no limit to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle has, but must have at least 3. There must be a rhyme scheme.

Title: Shadow Of Moments Gone
By: .ღLoveSucksღGetUsedToItღ.

Shadows of moments gone
Haunt her like a ghost
Just thinking of past talks
Makes her spine shiver

On the lips of eyelashes
A tear freezes,
Cause of the frightes
When seeing that face

On shy lips, Dies a tear
Burying those feelings
In a dark corner of her heart
She mustn't let him see

He who snatched all the happiness
From that poor thing
Shattering them in tiny pieces
Leaving her with scary memories...

The Arousing Cadavers

As the moon climbs up the sky,
Everything begins to glow
It would be unwise,
To walk too slow

The cadavers arouse,
When the moon ascends
Then they douse,
Everything in sin

Bloody the be,
With bodies misshapen
The cannot see,
Yet they still have a grin

They are like ashes,
They don't hold together
They have lashes,
Made of leather

They start towards me,
As I stand
They say we,
Shall soon be grand

There is a woman,
Standing near
I lean closer,
And whisper in her ear

You need to leave
Get away
I don't believe,
That you should stay

The cadavers will have you,
It won't be pleasant
You will be slew,
And be given as a present

To the one they call lord,
To the one they bow down before
You will be part of his horde,
And forever be sore

I intend on coming up with an ending for this and revising it, but for now, it will have to do.

When Death Comes Knocking
By: Twisted Heart

You'll hear him first, inside your mind
And then you'll feel the shiver
A coldness captured you in time
A steady thump delivered.

Inside your heart, he'll make his way
With greedy hands of pain
Reaching in the depths today
Bringing forth the rain.

Nowhere to run, he'll draw you down
With icy voice, he'll call
Trying to ignore the sound
But you begin to fall

Into the darkness, you will slide
No room for your sanity
There isn't any place to hide
From him, you can not flee.

He will find you, your soul to keep
No ransom, can you pay
When death comes knocking at your door
He'll take your breath away.

I'm eating breakfast
Sitting in my chair
Today there are no bruises on my face
And that is rare.

I yearn comfort and affection
Happiness and love
Instead over my mouth
I feel someone's glove.

A gloved hand
Pressing hard against me
I can't help it
The wails come free.

But today it is peaceful
All day long I play
Making stick figures
Out of clay.

But now it is tonight
And he is home
And suddenly I am
Left all alone.

Where did my mummy go?
I hear a slamming door.

He picks me up in his arms
I start to shriek-can't stay calm.
He shouts at me to be quiet
Tells me not to make such a riot.

Then I feel it on my face-SLAP
I feel it on my belly-WHACK
I think one of my ribs is about to break
I don't know how much more I can take.

He throws me on the chair
And slowly strips me bare.
Why is he touching me there?
Why is he pulling my hair?

Why are his hands roaming all over me?
Why wont he let me free?
What is that hard thing pressed against me?
I squirm, but he holds me still with his knee.

Suddenly I'm in agony
I feel like I'm being ripped apart
He's breaking my innocent heart.

He is making funny sounds
And checks to make sure no one is around
After making sure he's safe
He wonders what else he can take.

He's pinching me hard
Laughing like it's a game
I cry even louder
He really is insane.

He bends my fingers back
Farther and farther they go
Snap-Snap-Snap
They couldn't take it anymore.

Blood is running down my face
My lips are swollen and bruised
I'm helpless to defend myself
I feel really confused.

Finally he has had enough
He yanks my clothes back on
And in just a second or so
He has gone.

He returns a minute later
Holding bandages and creams
He roughly cleans me up
In the hope of making my cuts unseen.

I know why he is doing this
It's so my mummy doesn't know
Just what he does to me and
That the Devil lives at his core.

He'll make excuses for my broken bones
Tell people I tripped
Tell them I am clumsy
and they'll never guess I was stripped.

My mummy will never suspect
She'll never guess what's real
Only he and I
Know the real deal.

'It's our little secret'
He always whispers to me
'And if you tell anyone
I'll never let you free.'

TWO YEARS LATER

I'm sitting on my bed
Unable to believe what I've just done
I remember his terrible scream
'you think you've won?

You're a f u c k i n g psycho
We ought to have drowned you at birth'
Is what he yelled
As he forced me to eat dirt.

Now he and mummy are downstairs
And I can hear them yell
Why oh why
Did I have to tell?

I can hear thuds now
I can hear loud slaps
I close my eyes tight
listening to mummy get whacked.

I wish I had never told
I just wanted the pain to end
I wanted to know why
he never treated me like a friend.

Instead he treated me like a rabid dog
Used me for his amusement and fun
I glance around the room
And my eyes land on the gun.

I know how to use it
I've watched him enough times
And if I use it
Maybe everything will be just fine.

The fight is getting louder
I can hear mummy begging him to stop
She shouldn't do that
It usually sends him over the top.

Better to be submissive
To do as he says
Just take the beating quietly
And eventually he's okay.

I walk over to the gun
Staring hard at it
Images flashing through my mind
the kicks, the pinches and many hits.

The pain as he took my virginity
The humiliation as he used me for a game
The anger at what he did to me
The sadness when I realized he's insane.

I pick up the gun
It's small and light
I know deep down I shouldn't do this
But I don't know how else to make it right.

The fight downstairs is escalating
As I place the gun against my head
In just another minute or so
I'll finally be dead.

I'm going up to Heaven
And I plan to ask God why
Why he put me through all this pain
And why he made me cry.

'I'm Sorry,' I quietly whisper to my mum
And before I change my mind I fire that gun.

Now everything is peaceful
There is no more pain
And no longer do I have to
Play his stupid games.

Now I have two important questions to ask God when I find him:

Why did he hurt me so bad at just three years old
And why did I take my own life at five years old?

Lacrymosa
By Ilinca Milosan

She was sleeping gently until she heard a strange sound
When she opened her eyes there was fire all around.
She quickly got out of bed and started to scream
Her heartbeat racing – she hoped it was all a dream.

She put the fire out with her own bed sheet
Struggling desperately in the demonic heat
Burning drops of sweat pouring down her face
She knew she had to get out of that place.

She rushed downstairs as quickly as she could
Only to find something no one else should –
The living room caught up in a red and yellow flame
She screamed at the sight as the firemen came.

She jumped out the window and started to run
Tears pouring down her face dirty and ashen.
Her feet tired and heart barely beating in her chest,
She fell to the ground laying her body to rest.

Thoughts of the dying family she left behind
Stung her heart and blinded her jaded mind,
Ashamed she had no courage to stand up and fight
Her burning tears mixed with the cold rain that night.

She managed to get up and shivering she walked away
Begging for something to help her forget this day.
Out there in silence she saw a shimmering light,
Ran towards it to find a world made out of white.

Fragile crystal roses adorned the entrance door,
Springtime grass covered the flowering floor,
Her eyes mesmerized by the beauty of that place -
Could not believe there is a world of such grace.

When she almost stepped in she heard a noise behind
She ran into darkness as light was erased from her mind –
She thought she saw a man passing through the bushes
Wanting to discover who he was, ignoring angelic voices.

She followed him deep in the gloomy silent land,
As she though she lost him he grabbed her by her hand
Smiling seducing he looked her straight in the eyes
Approaching to her face he started her demise.

Her heart shattered into pieces, but she felt in love
Her dress once white as wings of a graceful dove
Turned to darkened red and her golden hair – black,
She’d stepped into a realm where there’s no coming back.

And years from then she served that gorgeous fiend
Her soul was sewed to his charms never to be weaned
Until one wretched day when he got bored of her
And decided it’s time for her damned life to apart be tore.

He lured her in his chamber and revealed his true face
Laughing disgusted – such hideous creature of disgrace,
Her dressed burst in flames that burnt through her skin
“I’m the Devil you fool, too late now to repent from sin”

He abandoned her there in that dark and heated room
She still couldn’t believe she was bound to doom
As demons came and ripped off her burning clothes
Tears pouring from her eyes – her heart filled with woes.

Her body nailed to a weeping willow – she lies in grief
She couldn’t understand how she was lead in this mischief,
She wears a burnt cloak with a cap to hide her scarred face,
Her soul is damned and thrown in the Devils’ embrace.

It’s said that everyone who falls in the Devils’ trap
Can hear her jaded voice as she cries in mishap
“My name is Lacrymosa - I’m the entrance weeper,
My love wasn’t enough for this wretched demon keeper

So now I’m bound to suffer through eternity and beyond
As reward for foolishly believing in the existence of a bond,
I was mislead by my fears and now I cry my disgrace
The only thing left pure in me is the tears on my burnt face.”

Dead Soul --
Thank you for the touching and well thought out comments and not one liners. I really appreciate your words.
You asked me how long I've been writing and I had no email to contact you with so I'll answer here: I've been writing for a grand total of almost 6 months. I had a huge 8 month writers block where I wrote nothing, so a total or 6 months. :)
Thank you again for the delightful comments.
Take care.
