Getting Darker
My forty-ninth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena
This is my forty-ninth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.
For this one, I am going to use the villanelle format
The music is "You Want It Darker" by Leonard Cohen
π€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€π
You Thought The Light Would Make You Safer
You Never Saw Evil In Shadows
And Now Your World Is Getting Darker
π€ππ€
Satan's Hand Is Pulling You Closer
Your Heart Is Ice As Your Fear Now Grows
You Thought The Light Would Make You Safer
π€ππ€
The Demons' Jaws Are Coming Nearer
They Will Taste Your Flesh, That You Now Know
And Now Your World Is Getting Darker
π€ππ€
You Are Forsaken, Lost Forever
And Your Body Dragged To Hell Below
You Thought The Light Would Make You Safer
π€ππ€
You're Flesh For Vermin, That Is Now Clear
Your Life And Soul Now Away Will Flow
And Now Your World Is Getting Darker
π€ππ€
Just Bones Remain, Your Flesh Was Razored
Your Body Lies In Ground Unhallowed
You Thought The Light Would Make You Safer
And Now Your World Is Getting Darker
π€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€π
