Dark Poetry
-
A private doubt becomes a widening shadow and a camera’s unblinking eye keeps score—grief that never belonged to the speaker turns to ash and circuitry, until yesterday’s ghost finally shows its face.
-
Painted smiles disinfect the memory but scar the body—redemption is sold on cracked stones and the stories we tell become the things that come back for us.
-
Time collapses inward and memory answers like tide—each return bends the self until the speaker stands folded inside a call that knows how to drown them.
-
A failing mind rattles with small detonations, old comforts turning to fractures until identity bursts and only grey eyes and echoes remain.
-
A looping sorrow tightens the throat as time folds back on itself—tired eyes watch patterns unravel and the body remembers the cost long after the mind has stopped counting.
-
A self peels away under watchful eyes—portraits and bodies frame a once life while the speaker begs for sight and release, and needles promise a final forgetting that reveals what the pictures would not.
-
A wish that wandered beyond mercy becomes a mirror for the things we dread—what comes back keeps the shape but not the soul, and an empty face answers where a self once stood.
-
Masks that steal the shadow of reflection turn memory into appetite—look long enough and the mirror keeps more than truth, answering with what you thought you left behind.
-
A ruined dollhouse becomes the architecture of endless time—broken windows and fallen toys stretch a single moment across a million years until happiness sits like a sharpened doubt and memory itself becomes the thing that will not be eased.
-
A tender prayer becomes a binding memory—this verse traces a grief that repeats itself like a cradle and shows how the past holds the present with a quiet, unrelenting gravity.
-
A name first learned in the dark becomes a memory that hardens into a carving — this short verse traces how devotion can ossify into an echo that will not be released.
-
A shattered reflection multiplies the self into wrong versions that call for completeness—each mirrored mistake pulls the speaker toward a last, hollow answer until the original voice is lost.
-
A dizzying, violent lullaby where mirrors tear and the merry-go-round never stops—this verse drags the speaker through a blooded loop until the final quiet becomes the only home.
-
A body made from discarded plastics and screens starts to remember and then to answer back—manufactured images claim more than memory and the speaker finds themselves faced by something that was never meant to know their name.
-
A piano on the edge of wakefulness trims memory into fragments—seasons and echoes circle and the self becomes a garment to be shed. The music repeats until you recognise no one.
-
A slice of silence severs the middle of a life and leaves a hollow that remembers—what the void takes keeps its own counsel and returns to name you.
-
A piano on the edge of wakefulness trims memory into fragments—seasons and echoes circle and the self becomes a garment to be shed. The music repeats until you recognise no one.
-
A weary voice counts the small deaths of routine as the present collapses into rot—sleep becomes surrender and memory a burden that will not lift.
-
A fragile shield fails and nights are stolen by a memory that feeds—pleas fall silent as something older remembers how to hunger.
-
A ritual hush of pills and mirrored lies peels memory into fragments—this verse tracks the mechanical slide from self to shell until what remains is a pinned, silent thing that asks nothing back.
