The abyss

Enjoy

I feel myself falling
Into a black and never ending abyss 
An abyss of uncertainty, 
Of surprise, mystery. 

I can't find a ledge, 
To hold onto. 
To keep myself up, 
To keep stable, functional. 
To keep me safe. 

I know it's too damn good
To be true. 
For once I'm feeling no pain, 
No sorrow,
No weakness, 
I'm happy,
Even giddy. 

My conscience
Whispers in my ear, 
Be careful, 
Or you'll trip and hurt yourself. 

Im so far into falling
I have too much momentum and inertia
Hurtling me
With too much force. 

To trust again;
Uncomfortable.
To love again; 
A comfortable discomfort. 

I can't do anything more
Than trust I am in safe 
Arms to guide me to the bottom 
Of the abyss. 

The abyss whom mocks me, 
Causes self doubt. 
The abyss the stops me from
Giving everything I have. 
The abyss that I'm afraid of. 

This isn't the first time down
The crevice in the earth. 
I fell and broke a few bones, 
Left my heart in tattered shards. 

I'm in full motion, 
With no sign of stopping. 
Looks like I'm just along for the ride. 

Love is a cruel cruel thing.

Love can be cruel. I told my three daughters. Walk softly and slowly into love. Can give some emotion and desire away one time only . If wasted on a user and abuser. Old heart will be broken.

Causes self doubt.

Giving everything I have.

A strong ending to a excellent poem.
