I want a poem or quote that would make people look twice at you. Something so dark and soulless that the air freezes when it is spoken. Whoever can give me the sickest quote or poem gets 10 points
My favorite Latin quote:
Momento mori.
Translation:
"Remember that you will die."
A poem I wrote:
Come hither and listen to this story of a girl
Who not once knew her place in this world.
She always knew that Death was her friend;
She couldn't wait for her turn at the end.
A slip of the knife once held by her fingers;
A fumble of the hand which pulled the trigger...
A trip over rocks covered in ice and snow.
God could only watch as she fell down below.
Underneath the water, gasping for air,
Tranquility set in as her friend came near.
And so it is said that they had met many times
Only for her to awaken as victim to God's crime.
John MacDonald found a corpse, put it under the sofa,
Waited till it came to life and hit it with a poker,
Sold its eyes for souvenirs, sold its blood for whiskey,
Kept its bones for dumb-bells to use when he was fifty
