Sickness MAG

By Anonymous

You wreak black
like nightfall.
You words are
dark and sharp.
You spear hearts
to see them bleed.
You run wild
with the sun
which so willingly
burns you.
Your harsh words
have never echoed
so clear and sound
with the wind.
Your words dug
gashes in the moon
and light the sky.
Dark looms and
has never hesitated.
We wonder why

I thought this was something to speak, it speaks to me and my friend thinks it is awesome. It sets the tone and the diction in it is distinctive, it has an amazing flow to it.

Very nice job. Your biting verbs and fantastic imagery made a dark subject artistic without transcending reality. As others said, your last line is especially powerful. Keep writing!
