A Dark One Dawns

It hurt - but what did they care
Monsters lurking in my mind
A sickness - A craving
Like an addict
I haunted the darker pathways
Deep within the city
Seeking those who lived in hell's burning light
A blood soaked reality
I sought them out
To ease my sickness
I needed what they offered - Their disease
I wouldn't give up until they offered me
And I accepted
And I then would become like them
Dark, hell creatures blood soaked
Then I would be the last one laughing
I'd be the nightmare - Not the joke

and now back to the darkness, like a soul tethered to it...
i could feel the undercurrent of blood flowing through the veins of the speaker but also through the veins of the city...

you use breathtaking imagery in your writes...a metaphorical soliloquy of dark thoughts.

Tina, the words you choose always allow the reader to follow you into the dark places. They paint the image of the streets where you create the monster, the hunt and the thirst to feed the additction. I am additcted to your poems.
