The dark abyss

The dark abyss

The water runs dark
As the river of life,
Stares into my soul
It cuts like a knife.

Nostalgic pains
Thrust and cut,
In the mirror of water
I'm stuck in a rut.

Can't go forward
Can't go back,
My subconscious
is on the rack.

A broken heart
In a dark abyss,
The tears run freely
I need her kiss.

I thought we were forever
Seems  I was wrong,
We used to sing and dance together
And sing life's love and song.

My heart can no longer take it
This bitterness longs for love,
I'm broken like a toy
Please god help me from above.

I'm drowning in self pity
For sure I'm going under,
I have told her I forgive her
My head can't take this thunder.

If only she would understand
I still have love in my heart,
and that we can begin again
I just want love like we had at the start.

Author's Note

A case of infidelity and self pity.

The staccato rhythm of your words is so effective....very powerful! When love goes wrong, nothing is the same. Lots of romantic longing in your words, Tony. I liked this one. Lydi**

You have penned such emotion in this poem Tony. I was surprised to read it is fictional. Great writing my friend. :) Julie

Thank you, Sami, totally fictional on my part and although very emotional and sad, it's alll a part of this so called modern society. Thanks for the awsome comments my friend, appreciate..Tony.
