I find this life to be dreary.
It's embrace has the effect of breaking my ribs.
No one hears them break in my isolation.
The small soft plink of snapping bones.

There's not enough bone nestling my heart
to keep her out of it. Lenore! Come back to me!
It's not your fault that I am unworthy.
The day is dreary doom without your radiance.

For all eternity, your countenance burns.
My radiant angel! Come back to me, please.
Come back to me please. Come back to me please.
Come back to me.

Please?

My pain knows no limits. I scoff at thee, sun!
Take your hated face from the crypt of my heart!
My soul is bleeding white, empty essence.
Take that away too! Dreary fool!

I pray to my Lovecraftian allies!
Take me away from this dreary existence!
Send me the calling of your calming storm!
Send me away to the sweetness of death!

My drear. My dreary day. My dreary day.
I know no comfort in today.

These smiling eyes are just a mirror for the sun.

My work here is done.

Though I said nothing about Poe! Or Dirge.

And maybe y' were a bit TOO obvious about the Lovecraft referencing.

Feel my angsty reachiness!

Ooo, I am so dark and evil and stuff!

Grrr! Do not make me smile! It is illegal in my timezone!

Watch my dance of solitude!

Hey, no one's watching?!

Oh .... right.

There's another Bad Goth Poem, la-la la-la la-la la! (There is a sorta childish tune to that, you just can't read it.   )

I is happy!

Oh, wait, no...

I is .... dreary.
Mopey.
Grr.

Feel my menacy goth-ness!

Uh, yeh.   I think I just lost that self-argument.

Y'know what? I still can't believe you didn't keep the first one! Even *Tyler* wrote and kept his. Hmm... If only he still had a computer, I'd asked him to join PiP just to post his Bad Goth Poem...

I'm sure everyone I sent it to deleted it too, Lori. It's gone!
