If The Worst Happened by ~poisondarts:iconpoisondarts:



If the worst happened
I would rip stars screaming from the sky
They would beg for solace
But I would shred them from their light

If the worst happened
I would tear scars from my arm
Replacing them with bright blood
Make it ooze from my veins

If the worst happened
The darkness would descend
Pointed shards ripping blindness
The light falls from reddened eyes

This has been in development for a while. Obviously Latin American Politics is conducive to me finishing writing poetry.

I like it. Like much of your work it uses some brutal metaphors which powerfully illustrate the pain of loss in terms of the destructive desires that one may feel in reaction. It's good, but it's tough going: I'd love to see the occasional positive voice in your work. Perhaps something that looks at what one has rather than what one would miss? There's my challenge to you - a happy poem please! ;)

Nice work :)

If the worst happened, would my first scar be my last, never to heal?
i pray the worst never happens.

My brain seems to naturally gravitate towards the more brutal and depressing things, but you'll be pleased to know I have a happy writing in the offing :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

me? poems?

naaa. :)

tbh i stopped wanting to do poems ages ago- i prefer to stick with stories, a lot more along my brain's thinking lines.
