Creatures and Darkness

Creatures and Darkness

Silvery fine spiderweb lines
Lay in parallel patterns
Upon milky forearms

Now hidden, red pearl necklaces
are placed in covered spaces

Halfhearted smiles hold back tears
And defend from emotions that threaten to destroy

Is it not better to feel
nothing
Than to feel
everything?

The love, the support, the help that cannot help
Just causes guilt
That you yourself are unable to help yourself


The creature within the dark abyss of my mind reaches out with black claws and drags me into the unexplored crevices that I so consciously avoid
The darkest places that when entered will discolour your innermost self forever
