It's about time I came back to these poems, huh? Well, here's a new one. I took a very different approach with the style, and I absolutely love it! Tell me what you all think!
Enjoy!


A Guide to Losing Yourself to the Darkness

Start with the clothes.
Remove them.
Become as naked as the day you were born.
Let the darkness caress you like a lover; let the darkness get to know you.
Next are the feelings.
Erase them like a typo upon the paper.
Actually, erase all mistakes.
Become very naked.
Next is the skin.
Peel it away from the muscles and tissue underneath.
Let the red shine in the dark.
Burn the skin to ash.
Watch it fly away.
Now, the muscles.
Rip the veins out.
Stun the nerves.
Surrender your flesh.
Reveal the bones.
They are so white in the darkness.
Let them whittle away.
Grind to dust and float endlessly.
Surrender yourself to the darkness.
Become as naked as the day you were thought of.
Become one with the darkness you were conceived in.
Last comes the heart.
Let it die.
Let it fail.
Let it smother.
Let it be no more.
