Darkness

Poetry

By Erin ClairePublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

i talk to you every day

and tell you things that make you stay

in this dark hole i lured you to

where i made you think the skies were blue

instead they're black, like your soul

the walls lined with the finest coal

i tell you "sit away from everyone"

and convince you that your only friend is a gun

so look inside yourself and see

the only thing you hate is me

the darkness inside you, that's me you feel

i get stronger every day, like steel

now take that knife that's over there

and do what i say, what you alone wouldn't dare

sad poetry
