What dark poetry do you know of?

Question

I'd love to read it !

Answer 1

I am not quite sure what you mean by dark..  However, I have memorized only one poem in my life.. No clue why though.. It's not the happiest poem.. not even sure.. who wrote it lol.. some crush gave it ot me.. and i just remembered the whole thing bc i had a crush on that person.. but memorizing it.. was no use lol. i think its called salvation

The blade is pressed against his skin.

A pale arm marred by mortal sin.

Crimson stains upon the floor..

Only a prelude for what's in store

Truth that burns like acid rain

Peace achieved through pleasure-pain

Tortured soul and hellish life

Salvation found upon a knife
