#blame robert smith for every time my writing gets melodramatic

[lav-endermoon]

afraid of my shadow in a dark room—

a c!quackbur poem

(feedback is much appreciated!! i don’t usually post this kind of thing because. self doubt. so let me know if you’d like to see more)

full text:

IT ONLY COMES OUT AT NIGHT

SO YOU’LL WAIT ‘TIL YOU’RE DEAD

IN THE DAYLIGHT

YOU BLEED NOIR ON THE GROUND

UNTIL WE OVERLAP:

UMBRA AND PENUMBRA FIGHTING

TO BE DARKEST

IT ONLY COMES OUT AT NIGHT

THE THING THAT WANTS YOUR

HANDS

THE THING THAT TOUCHES

BACK

PRESSES ITS MILKY TOOTH TO YOUR

COLLARBONE

SHARP AS THE THE MIRROR

IT LIVES IN

I CAN FORGIVE YOUR MOUTH

WHEN WE MELT INTO A SINGLE

DARKNESS

I’D PRAY FOR GOD TO LET ME FORGIVE YOU

BUT THERE’S NO CHURCHES IN THIS CITY

AND AFTER ALL,

HELL KEPT YOU SAFELY LEASHED

AND AFTER ALL,

I PULLED THIS CITY FROM THE GRAVE-DIRT

YOU CRAWLED OUT OF LAST YEAR.

LAST YEAR.

THIS IS MY LAST FEAR:

THERE’S NO DEVIL WITHOUT GODS

TO CAST HIS SHADOW
