The Abyss

one of those dark moments wondering if love will ever come

The Abyss

I feel myself trying to find
the bottom of a blackened pool...
 darkness beckons with icy fingers
 dragging me to the depths of despair...
 from its grip can I make my escape
 or has this been my appointed fate...
I float deeper into the abyss...
.loves sweet kiss brings a bitter gall,
 never shall I know it's sweet honey...
 loves casts its lies of deception...
 passion shackled... eternities champion.
  The greatest lie is that love exists...
 love is a deception it tears the heart from the body.
  I shall embrace the darkness...
 let it wash over me...
 it is real unlike love.
  Macabre taunts of sweet desire
 rip tear’s from my heart.
  My one thing I desire the most
 escapes like sand through my fingers
.  The abyss darkens...
the light is fading...
 fading into the darkness
.  Why did I ever try to embrace the light...
 light deceives, in darkness truth is told.
  I believed the lies of light...
 in the darkness my heart cries the night...
 another lie just told...
embrace me, the long goodnight.
