Black black black black black - even blacker!

[ciphergoth]

I am goth, hear me mope
With a black absence of hope
My soul's too pained to cope
Oh, woah woah woah woah woahpe

Whoops, I just accidentally wrote three poems for that :(

Yeah, it lured me into banging one out too (yes, I did phrase it that way on purpose, thankyou), but the competition seems to have closed already anyway :)

I wrote a poem for the first time in ages the other day. Its not gothic I'm afraid, but I'll share it with you anyway. Someone I work with at Terrapin (shop in Luton) left recently. I don't know why (although I have some suspicions) but I sense some animosity there. The poem is basically speculation on why ey might have left- imagination is often much more interesting than truth, I find.

Jamie's gone, ey got the sack,
The boss caught Jamie smoking crack,
And having sex with prostitutes,
Whilst wearing thigh-high kinky boots,
In the clinic at Terrapin.
Ey wouldn't let the boss join in.
