Darkness That I Will Leave NamelessA Poem by The Darkest MusePoem...something I wrote listening to the band My Dying Bride...posted it on my Myspace page too...look me upDays are nights anymore
With these demons that take my thoughts away
That take my mind's peaceful dreams
And murder them with the brightness of the day
Who are these ghosts that remind me
Of blood on oak floors and white walls
Who are these creatures that call names
That I don't remember anymore
Who can show me my reflection?
Who can remind me of what was stolen from me
In ten years that leave me screaming on the floor
In flashes of memory that tear away at my flesh
To get to the core
to get to the places that I've guarded with ice and stone
To keep safe from a dark soul that has found them anyway
Leave me alone!!!
Let ME BE FREE OF YOU!
LET ME RUN TO PLACES YOU HAVEN'T SOILED
With dirty, blood soaked finger nails
I want to cut you
Like you ripped apart me
I want you to feel the fear and nightmare
That you raped into me
I want you to bow to me
Like you made me fall to my knees
You die at my hands
Even if I have to call on those demons to find you
There's no soul left in me
So it doesn't even matter
You took it all from me
You stole my laughter
And burned my most sacred forest.
Leaving me to shiver and cry in its ashes
I light my candles
And call moonlight to surround and fill me
Yet still you're there
I beg the sun to burn my flesh to the bone
And still your darkness lingers there
There's no escape from that which you did to me...
There's no erasing your infested stare
That wrecks my nightmares
I've finally started to remember
And I don't think I want to anymore....
