Darkly Tonight

Black. Bored into my skin. Scrubbed and steeped.
Behind my eyelids. Smoke stained. Peeled.
Crazy patchwork or rough patina. Pestled.
Cloudburst over idylls. Raw. Scathing. Spent.
Damned demons of desire. Lurid. Unleashed.
Dragging me down. Drowning. Drawn.
Everlasting evanescence. Effortless. Fatigued.
Endless night. Screaming in my face. Scared.
Faceless fears. Abstract monsters. Undefeated.
Freak show. For me? Or me mirrorred?
Grieving black. Weeds. Winter blackened.
Give up. Give in. Adrift. Asunder. Aggrieved.
