This Bloody Painting

This is a triolet poem. That means that it's 8 lines, lines 1, 4 and 7 are the same line, lines 2 and 8 are the same but different, lines 3 and 5 rhyme with lines 1,4 and 8, and line 6 rhymes with lines 2 and 8. It makes more sense when you actually do it. 

Anyway, this was also inspired by the game 'Layers Of Fear', hence the title. It's got a dark and depressing atmosphere just like the actual game, or at least that's what I tried to do with this. 

Down into the darkness I creep.

This bloody painting is my only escape.

If I escape here, I may never again sleep.

Down into the darkness I creep.

I've seen things in this place that would make me weep.

I've done everything I could to change my fate.

Down into the darkness I creep.

This bloody painting is my only escape.
