Don’t fear the dark,
for the dark fears all but itself
Rather consume it,
and digest all its wealth
The stronger you glint
the more opaque silhouettes cast
Burdens keep glee, pride and joy in the past
I dont feel just anymore
There are strangers at my door
Faith kept winds from reaching shore
Never felt less, I am evermore
Consume the dark
Let it live in your chest
Turn every shadow to spark
Wear that void like a crest
The stronger you glint
The blacker they fall
The stronger you glint
The more opaque silhouettes cast
on the wall
Please listen
discard the tissue on my wrists and feel free to glisten
My scars are there
but easily missed when our minds succumb to eternal prison
Have you noticed that our eldest became our oldest?
No? Make a wish then
Beat me at my own game
Fresh venison
Such a menace when you relish my embarrassment
Consume the dark
Let it live in your chest
Turn every shadow to spark
Wear that void like a crest
The stronger you glint
The blacker they fall
The stronger you glint
The more opaque silhouettes cast
on the wall
I dont feel just anymore
There are strangers at my door
Faith kept winds from reaching shore
Never felt less, I am evermore
Seat me in my own shame
Lessons learnt
Benevolent
Apprentices learn exactly what they’re meant to say
Anyway, my time’s grown cold
The boy is bound to play center fold
Mentalistic chokehold
I’m sold
Tell me i’m done
Tell me today is my last day
Tell me It’ll hurt me
If today is truly my last, I’ll even go to bed early
Consume the dark
Let it live in your chest
Turn every shadow to spark
Wear that void like a crest
The stronger you glint
The blacker they fall
The stronger you glint
The more opaque silhouettes cast
on the wall
I dont feel just anymore
There are strangers at my door
Faith kept winds from reaching shore
Never felt less, I am evermore
Consume the dark (x4)
Consume the dark
Let it live in your chest
Turn every shadow to spark
Wear that void like a crest
The stronger you glint
The blacker they fall
The stronger you glint
The more opaque silhouettes cast
on the wall
I am evermore

Awesome on so many levels…
Thank you Cipher! I’m glad you like it!
Agreed with Cipher so many great stanzas, you even came with the word play, to cool Lady.
Thank you! I appreciate it very much 🙏🏻
Outstanding, girl! I can see Poe, sitting in a hardbacked chair pulled around backward so he can lean his arms on the top., and he’s tapping his toes, girl, and smiling big, while whispering, “Damn, I wish I were that good!”
Thank you so much FD! To be even compared to Poe is too much of an honor! 🙏
Hey, I just said he’d LIKE you, and wished he were that good. And I’m sure he would.
