One Final Graven Kiss
Glimmers of carmine
Leaching from the broken vessel
Filling the silence, wall to wall
Bleach forms to cloud your vision
As clouds form cataracts
And cataracts form black eye pits
Dispel a single tear
To join the filaments
The sarcastic allusion
This world wasn't worthy
Of such majesty anyway
The didn't, couldn't be fair
Perfectly still
My paper doll
Fragile wrapping, inanimate heart
As warmth touches cold
An obsidian kiss
To seal a life of grief.
(The "sarcastic allusion" refers to one of my other poems "The Tight Rope Anchor" to clarify the reference. Thank you for reading)

This poem is perfectly dark and it is well thought out. I liked it, I want to read more like these. </3

I have more coming. Some of this nature and most of this style. Good to hear you liked it (:
