Dreaded Deepest Darkness

Dreaded deepest darkness, dragging me down deeper into the dirt, dust, and dross

Accepting my fate is easier than fighting my dark-shadowed destiny

Reaching out, for anything, anyone; nothing and no one is there, but me

Knotted ropes attached to my legs and my hands, attempting to escape is futile at best

Next comes the knife that's pressed to my chest; the piercing blade invades my skin

Everything starts to get darker, the blackness is fading into nothingness

Something or someone is approaching in the darkness and blackness

Silence surrounds me, apart from my heart, which is failing and fading as my eyes close...

Thanks for reading!

Some nice lighthearted and fun poetry for Sunday afternoon! Hehe.

Aside from Challenge entries, I have quite a few long-term ideas that I am slowly working on. There is a book of acrostics, including my strongest entries to the Dancing with Distraction Challenge and the Like Baloo... and Frustration ones. Then there is a book of Troll fairy tales, including my short story Distraction Takes Its Toll and other tales of Trolls from around the world, and one that is going to feature exclusively Dark Acrostics, for which this is the first.
