Black Poetry : Heart So Dark

[Angela22]

I found dark places in my heart

I had never even known were there

What's scary is

It wasn't scary to explore

Or even adore, what I had found

Parts not non-existent, just bound

It felt like falling

In love

Now it keeps calling

So my mind's stalling

And I'm left just wanting to know

Do I even have a choice to go?

Or was it,

Is it,

My destiny

This whole time wanting to be free

Becoming more of me

Now there's more I truly see

There's so much more I want to be

So lately

I wander the dark

And wear it like a cloak

Hide behind it, watching

Gather what I want to know

I sleep in it and wake in it

Not knowing where I am

Forgetting and remembering

Some things I knew and parts I can

I see others wandering

And know the ones

Who were once like myself

Who had once never felt

A darkness upon them, like I feel

A Shadow Lover, so... surreal

It tears me together & pieces me apart

In the depths

It left me

And found me

I found me

A heart

So

Dark
