in the pursuit of whimsy
everyone has fallen for its spell,
the shadows don't disappear
yet blind eyes remain turned

The shadow knows first
what tomorrow hasn't said
the heart starts to shake
#DarkHaiku #DarkPoetry #Intuition #InnerWorld #Poetry

Eyes know what words hide
before the darkness arrives
silence on the skin
#DarkHaiku #DarkPoetry #UnspokenWords #SensitiveSoul #Poetry

I feel far too much
and no one hears the trembling
beneath quiet peace
#DarkHaiku #EmotionalDepth #DarkPoetry #InnerStruggles #Poetry

A thousand faces
one forgotten self remains
beneath the skin
#DarkHaiku #Identity #DarkPoetry #InnerSelf #PoetryCommunity

The soul fell asleep
while the world kept moving on
without looking back
#DarkHaiku #DarkPoetry #LostSelf #Melancholy #Poetry

The mask slowly falls
beneath it, silence remains
no one knew that face
#DarkHaiku #DarkPoetry #Masking #HiddenSelf #Poetry

What once disappeared
returns softly through the fog
I awaken now
#DarkHaiku #Awakening #DarkPoetry #HealingJourney #Poetry

Even too much light
can hurt eyes that learned to hide
when seeing was pain
#DarkHaiku #DarkPoetry #SensitiveSoul #InnerPain #Poetry

The night knows the signs
before the cold reaches skin
no one speaks a word
#DarkHaiku #DarkPoetry #Intuition #NightPoetry #Poetry

A flower of thorns
keeps growing through every wound
still burning inside
#DarkHaiku #DarkPoetry #Resilience #GothicPoetry #Poetry

A wounded butterfly
slowly opens its dark wings
after winter ends
#DarkHaiku #DarkPoetry #Rebirth #Healing #GothicPoetry

I no longer run
when the darkness calls my name
I remain awake

Guilt became the executioner I learned to obey,and every “I must” buried another piece of me away.

The calendar feels like a graveyard in disguise,each passing date another piece of life that dies.
#DarkPoetry #GothicPoetry #Time #Melancholy #DarkSoul

The world keeps lighting its candles beyond my door,while I remain a ghost of the life I wanted more.
#DarkPoetry #GothicAesthetic #LostLife #DarkSoul #PoetistaOscura

Not every ghost lives beneath a cemetery stone;some haunt the houses where their dreams were overthrown.
#GothicPoetry #DarkPoetry #HauntedSoul #LostDreams #Poetry

I wonder how many versions of me were left behind,in cities I never saw and roads I never tried.
#DarkPoetry #GothicSoul #UnlivedLife #Melancholy #PoetistaOscura

The darkest grave is not where the dead remain,but where a living soul buries every dream in vain.
