A Darker Shade Of Black
My thirty-ninth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena
This is my thirty-ninth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.
I was going to write about how in this last years abusers have taken from me and hurt me, but then thought, sod them I will not give them any credit.
They say if you want someone to remember you wound them badly and that has happened to me, but I will move forward.
This is a sort of take on the premise that when things can't get any worse, they will.
The music I have chosen is "Blacker Than Black" by Goodbye Mr McKenzie'

Falling Into Hellish Darkness
You Can See No Easy Way Out
You're Not Alone, They Want You Dead
You'll Be Attacked, There Is No Doubt
๐ค๐๐ค
You Won't Be Helped, You Are Nothing
Each Turn You Take Is A Wrong One
This Dark Blackness Is So Blinding
As The Knives Slice You, Abandoned
๐ค๐๐ค
They Now Take Delight In Your Pain
Harming You, Again And Again
Losing Blood, Your Life's A Flicker
Your Sight Fades, Blacker and Blacker
๐ค๐๐ค
And Now That You Are Dead To Them
They Leave To Find A New Victim

I'd Love to Fall
This is definitely inspired by my Muse, and the music is "Book Of Love" by Peter Gabriel covering The Magnetic Fields original. It's one that I attempted too, and you can listen to that at the end of this poem. It is truly a beautiful song.

Goodness this was as relatable as it was dark. A lot of truth in this one. Nicely penned, my friend :)
I loved the line your life's a flicker. And your last stanza is like super true. Once we're dead, they move on to their next victim
Truth Mike. Absolute truth. Thank you for putting into poetry. ๐ฅฐ
I'm not a poet and don't often read it. But I have heard it is quite cathartic. Well done.
This was so good, it made me want to embrace the dark side. LOL! All kidding aside, this is an awesome piece!
Well done, Mike. Those last two lines say it all.
