Most Commented Dark Poetry Poems (2,490)

Don’t let your feet touch the ground,

while spirits of malevolence drift around,

the only thing you know for certain,

what lays behind the ghostly curtain.

(Chorus) The night has been long,

the wound has been deep,

the pit has been dark,

and the walls have been steep.

Dark circles under your eyes,

a vacant look that's no surprise,

crimson thorns that tightly bind,

unanswered questions in your mind.

(Chorus)

Shifting seasons steals your breath,

while the reaper doles out death,

in the shadows of misty 'morrow,

angels weep with heartfelt sorrow.

(Chorus)

Spirits wax and often wane,

the wailing wind feels no pain,

souls that’s stolen in the night,

now turn black no longer bright.

(Chorus)

Blood that once flowed so free,

in hell denied its liberty,

dust prevails to mark the spot,

where bleached white bones begin to rot.

(Chorus)

Lightening thrusts like blades of flame,

thunder grabs the heart to claim,

love unfettered strikes a pose,

thorns of guilt fall from the rose.

(Chorus)

Candles flicker distort the white,

the breeze unbound whips to flight,

smoke that churns seems to jeer,

hides the torment in their tear.

(Chorus)

To walk this life we must be brave,

dusty footprints become your grave,

a smile to keep never to borrow,

a faded memory greets tomorrow.

(Chorus)

Tombstones topple turning green,

the faded epitaph no longer seen,

chilling shrouds shriek and moan,

an untamed spirit all alone.

(Chorus)

Cold the darkness outside
Black the air ,frost biten jack frost is about
The dim lite street lamps barely lite
Offer just enougth light to see the way

The glowing beems dazzle are eyes as the
Speeding cars race bye to get home to the saftey of there homes
To hide from the darkness to be safe in are home
The chill of the nite air offers no cover only to gangs commiting crimes

This their playgroud they cause so much bother
To law abidding residents in their homes
They don't go out into the darkness no more
Trapped in their homes to frieghtened to go on are blighted streets

Harm waits on are streets to apprend the most vulnarable
Residents wait for light to come to bring saftey to are streets and for everyone.

When time goes by

leaving me behind

i sit wondering why

how did this come about

got in to a tail spin

and never ejected out

now i've crashed landed hitting the ground

it's a strange world, the land unknown, unfamiliar

i need to survive and start to rebuild a new life

the home land is gone it was named the past

i got to discover this new land, this new man

How long will you allow your grape vine to grow?
Lately I've been learning things I don't care to know,
That's the point of kickin' back, chillin', hangin' low,
To avoid sh!t talkin' drama it's gotten too f#ck!ng old!

But there's no where I can go to just escape,
With everybody in everyone's business its a little too late!
Like a pregnant teen pleads her friends for a little silence 'til the time is right,
Her friends turn to the world to run & spread the news throughout the night!
Like a man who wants to be a man & confess to his girl that he was wrong,
A b!tch goes & acts a B!TCH in relationships where that B!TCH doesn't belong!
Some you can talk to & your words will stay with that one,
not talkin' secrets but understanding 'cause most will leak those words to 21!
Different heads!
Plenty dumb!
& arrogant heads!
Like empty bums!
So simplex!
These trendy f#cks!
These wagon heads!
Sit in dumps,
repeating what reluctantly said!

So...
Gossip boys & gossip girls,
Gossip through your teeth!
Through fake smiles & promises,
'cause they gossip in their sleep!
With a mouth which never seizes,
it just lie's & never pleases!
She could gossip as she sneezes,
he could gossip broken in pieces!

To this day I'm still amazed in disbelief!
These people will die to gossip,
like fiends it's all they need!
Gossip 'cause you have no life,
no life or mind of your own!
Talk your sh!t!
Big surprise!
Such a child denies to grow!!!
Wonder why your all alone,
I'll foretell your future,
as if you don't already know!

'Cause the next little tweety bird,
who feels the need to speak the words,
of someone else's business or someone talkin' sh!t,
I'm gonna stalk it, stop it,
then I'm gonna kill that sh!t!
Like fly tweety fly!
Now die tweety DIE!
To all those people who gossip,
like leaking water faucets,
No need to come out now,
just keep your a*s' in the closet!
It's drama free!
Yay it's quiet.
I like it!
Stay away from me,
or your a*s might! get! kicked!!!

Tweety Birds.

I've been constantly becoming what I fear the most,
That sh!t is grose!
Addiction runs further than the eye can see,
I need you to see...this place...inside...
MY HEAD!
Time after time,
Questioning love clouds my mind,
As slumbering into frantic frustration!
I've been called a failure too many times,
As I'm stepping towards total annihilation!
I fear I'm becoming what others want me to become,
Open your eyes & you'll see where all my hatred comes from!
Look inside my head!
Look inside my ugly skull!
Look at my stupid f#ck!ng brain that always got me F's in school!
A memory in a whisper, standing in fields of fire!
Unbound ability to play with unspoken fears & desires!
A labeled land where wearing grin provokes sin to win unstable man with in a system is just that...a system.

Question after question,
No more answers for suggestion,
As I'm melting to my perfect level of anger!
Constantly lying & causing your drama,
All the while you were pointing your finger!
This situation at hand is overwhelming me,
My minds drifted far from it's realm,
I can hardly see, what's in front of me?
My mind tries to disregard the memory!
Losing, junkie, addict! Choosing misery & heavy static!
I know I'll be O.K. so long as double D is in the attic!
Look inside my head!
Look inside my ugly dome!
Look at my stupid f#ck!ng brain that always took me so far from home!
Listen to the whisper, swept off to fields of fire!
Playing with unspoken fear & desire!
Liars win sin & wear their label at the table of the law with a grin laughing with in a system is just that...a system!

Fight after fight,
Nurture my soul tonight,
As I rest in your clouds of ecstasy!
Only you can put me back together 'cause,
You are the one who has made this mess of me!!!
Something won't allow me to float above,
I can't shove these feelings aside to hide them!
Sooner or later my wondering mind will find them!
Only time will tell,
So I'm forced to wait until then,
To show my love to you & put it all out in the open!!!
Look inside my head!
Look inside my filthy brain!
Look at this stupid f#ck!ng brain that always brought me so much pain!!!!!
I hear the faint memory like a whisper of my mind dappers inside calling out tears of fire!
I have the ability to play with unspoken fears & desires!
Releasing life & death, can't get any higher!
Reborn I smile I win.
Dying I cast a grin.
Deaths dirty sin.
Not even death can stop whats with in!
This...is...within a system...which...is...just that.

...a system...

I'm fading away
The light in my eyes is gone
I'm tattered 
Torn beyond repair
I just want to disappear

I will when it's all over
When the minute hand ticks last
And the last one falls
I will tumble down the hill
Into the deep sea 
The dark sea

No one will know
No one will care
As I crash against the cliff 
Bruising everything
And fading away

I will sink towards the bottom
My breathing going away 
My lungs collapsing 
My world crashing
As I plunge into darkness
The bitter cold watery darkness

I'm scared
The darkness is not a nice place 
I can see the inky talons reaching for me 
I'm terrified of it
But I will not care

Because I'm fading away
My vision is going black
And my lungs burn
My heart is failing
And I'm sinking towards the bottom
Getting closer

The darkness is in reach
And I grab ahold of it
Not being scared anymore
Im ready to escape this place
The cold reality is too much
I'm fading into darkness

Nothing left of me
Nothing to tear at
Nothing to laugh at
Nothing but a broken heart 
And a lost soul

Time to go
Time to face the music
The time has come 
I'm fading away 
Like a song
That is softly ending

I must go 
The end is near
And the deed is done
The music is over
And I'm fading away

You my savior in the night as I tried to take my life.
Your love was strong as it helped me hang on to the light.
You opened my eyes, made me feel better about your lie's.
You said we'd work at it, be together in time!
But I was the fool sitting alone in a new sun rise.
You ran off to be with another guy.
I knew I was in for a big surprise,
so I sit & wonder why I AM STILL ALIVE! ! !
You should've just let me go!
Why couldn't you just let me do what you do not know?
Its been like this for quite some time,
its not like you know whats going on in my mind!
Not like I know whats really going on in your life.
Whats to keep this from repeating? To keep us from the beatings?
Your happiness insight of knowing I'm actually leaving!
You would have shed a tear, if you believed in what we had,
as our future ends abruptly & a daughter loses her dad.
Frantically, she looks for him to come back,
searching for her love, reaching for her facts,
bleeding her disgust as the blood's seeping into the cracks,
abides by the love,
to show me her choice reacts from the life it impacts most!
Life is full of choices,
this is what is chose...
...to allow my words to play my ghost...
...like a parasite it harms the host...
I asked her to DO ONE SIMPLE THING!
Look into my eyes & start leveling.
Deep breaths are calming,
she refuses as she's falling,
then she bruises. Alarming.
Life is a B!TCH!
Little insects harming!
Go ahead & scratch the ITCH!
THE DEVILS QUITE CHARMING!!!
so i tell myself f#ck your feelings just tell it how it is,
my mind over body helps me go painless,
but it does nothing for my anger,
which in turn makes me dangerous,
from the pride inside i lied...
from the truth & beatings we hide...
to hundreds of miles away i'll drive...
to acquire the meaning in my own green eye...

S.O.M.S.

See the Cottage by the sea
Perched by that old oak tree

there once lived a maiden
Bright and fair
blue of eyes and golden hair

she walked the screen of silver and light
and this to her end was her plight

she forgot what is meant to be alive
for all she saw was glitter and JIVE

So beware to those who seek this life
For what it brings is grief and strife

All that kills will someday fade:
Will destroy itself with its own blade.
All that maims will be no more:
With legends will pass to yesterday's lore.

All thats good will take its place:
But I have gone without a trace.
All that's good does not cease,
And as time goes on, I am at peace.

All that hurts will pass away:
Will fade to mist eventually.
All that pains will slowly die:
Wither and wilt and slowly lie,
Beneath the earth, just like I.
