Let's read some dark poetry...
Welcome! This is where all the dark poetry I've collected it being shown. Please note that I call it "Dark" poetry instead of demon or devil poetry because that sort of thing is harder than usual to find, and because many people write some pretty depressing/angry/distured poetry and this presents me with an opportunity to post it.
If you would like your dark poetry posted, please send it to me here with your e-mail address and the name you want me to give credit to for the poem. Thanks and enjoy the poems!

By: Edgar Allan Poe
But see amid the human round
A crawling shape intrude!
A bloodred thing that writhes from out
The senic solitude!
It writhes -it writhes! with mortal pangs
And man becomes it's food,
The angels sob at vermin fangs in human gore imbrude.

The next piece is one I did myself. It is meant to be two of the many voices in my head. One is the calm voice that I speak with, and the other is a screaming mess of emotions, grief and hate, which I think of as my demon. Sometimes it screams, other times it sobs, but this was the only time I thought to write down what it said.
The Sword By: Luned Ketowisp
You say the words
THE SWORD HAS ENTERED INTO ME
I dreaded you would
IT'S GONE FAR PAST THE SKIN
My ears can't believe
IT'S GONE PAST THE BONE
But your eyes tell me
SO DEEP WITHIN ME...
That hope is gone
THE SWORD...
I bit my lip
IT HURTS...
I will not let you see how I'm hurting
IT HURTS... I... HURT...
Don't look at me
SEE THE BLOOD...?
I won't look at you
BLOOD... CAN'T YOU SEE THE BLOOD...?
I will not let you see
OH GOD....
What you're doing to me
IT BURNS...
I mutter something
BURNING FROM WITHIN ME
and turn away
STOP!
I wish I could just...
TEAR IT OUT!
...forget
SO MUCH HURT
Why should I waste tears on someone
SO MUCH FEAR
who doesn't care?
SO MUCH REGRET
Why should I cry
AND THE PAIN...
to a stone wall?
AND THE BLOOD...
Only the cold silence
SO CONSTANTLY FLOWING...
will be my answer
WITH MY NEWFOUND HATE
Because no one cares.
WHY?!
So I'll leave you behind
WHY DO I TRUST?
Just a shadow of the past
WHY DO I HATE?
Stay behind
WHY DO I HURT?
Stay
BECAUSE
I won't miss you
THE SWORD
