Night Moves

JustABird

the night moves

 

slithers across my skin

skitters across my brain

stands before me like a man

won't release me from his morbid game

drowns out my screams 

with his ever-widening dark

pierces me to my very soul

and leaves me ripped apart

 

Beware.

 

the night moves.

  • Comment from author about the poem: How do you classify something like this? Perhaps 'horror' should be added to the list. This is not erotic, or even graphic in my opinion but the subject matter is sensitive so I checked 18+. I read a poem the other day about an untouchable subject, something that goes unspoken far too often and it encouraged me to post about my own experience. Not as cathartic as I had hoped, but maybe it will help someone else to know they're not alone.

    Very dark. Really enjoy your writing style

      Thank you. It feels better to write the dark stuff, I think. I can dredge up the feelings I want to portray more easily.
