Grey

Nothing like a cold tragedy

Breathing heavy down your neck

Foreign lover's silent gaze

And a knife in your back

The fear of history repeating itself

 

My damaged soul

Perfect for your tortured body

Left with fleeting memories

Of a sinister melody

 

Hypnotized by rays of light

Tripping over my own feet

I fell into the arms of darkness

And fell in love with it

 

I have no reason to pause

I have no reason for hate

Still caged and suffocating

I am dead anyways

Thank you! I'll try to expand on this when I can so I can give you more.  You are quite a talented poet yourself by the way.

out of the darkness, cometh......

Brilliant use of contrasts, trapped in the nether realms of indifference and past caring. Grey is the tone and view through this window you open to us unto your soul. Pen on sir.


this is not the end, this is not the begining of the end, this is merely the end of the begining.

Thank you grim, that means a lot. I struggled to find a title for it, but I am glad you understood and like the title!

Sounds pretty final to me.

Sounds pretty final to me. Embracing the darkness - nice. All things sinister and cold. Makes me shiver! Move over Poe, move over King, there's a new sheriff in town - short stories anyone? Bravo & encore! ;D ~a~
