humor turns dark

Their laughter laced with shadows, a dance in the mist.

In the shadows where laughter turns to horror
There is a twisted humor, a grotesque glorification.
Dark juices, with smiles so wide,
They laugh and joke, their humor is sardonic.

His jokes are loaded with a terrible joy,
A mockery of the fragility of life.
They dance with demons, drown in laughter,
Finding humor in the sorrows that everyone knows.

Their laughter echoes, pierces the night,
A collection of darkness, devoid of light.
They make fun of heartbreak, pain and strife,
As tears of joy flow, mingle with life.

With twisted tongues they spin their tales,
The humor is as sharp as the blackest of nails.
A veil of laughter hides despair
A bitter comedy, beyond repair.

Because there is a truth hidden in their humor
The fragility of life, not fixed.
And as they joke and joke, they reveal,
The irony of existence, so surreal.

So laugh, my friend, in despair,
Find peace in the dark if you dare.
But beware of the humor that turns to Hades,
Because there is a darkness in its depths.
