The Encroaching Darkness


I feel
the encroaching
necrosis settling in,
as the shadows finger their way
toward the growing twilight, etching my mind,
endless scratching with no escape!
It’s closing in on me,
this demon heart
I feel!

This reminds me of a song I really like called From Beneath You by Nemesia. The endless scratching, the demon heart, very chilling! Great one. Always, Laura

Interesting comparison Laura. I learn many new things from the comments I read on PS. The tone is certainly similar. I do not speak Japanese but someone I once knew recommended a band called Malice Mizer a Japanese kei rock band reminiscent of David Bowie. They have several songs you might like including Au Revoir and an instrumental called Regret. Enjoyed the song (and several others) and your nice comment as well. Thank you.
