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
๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ค๐๐ค๐
You Thought The Light Would Make You Safer
You Never Saw Evil In Shadows
And Now Your World Is Getting Darker
๐ค๐๐ค
Satan's Hand Is Pulling You Closer
Your Heart Is Ice As Your Fear Now Grows
You Thought The Light Would Make You Safer
๐ค๐๐ค
The Demons' Jaws Are Coming Nearer
They Will Taste Your Flesh, That You Now Know
And Now Your World Is Getting Darker
๐ค๐๐ค
You Are Forsaken, Lost Forever
And Your Body Dragged To Hell Below
You Thought The Light Would Make You Safer
๐ค๐๐ค
You're Flesh For Vermin, That Is Now Clear
Your Life And Soul Now Away Will Flow
And Now Your World Is Getting Darker
๐ค๐๐ค
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
