The Abyss
Always duty
Always others
Before self
Screams raging
Freedom withheld
Caged
No release
Deepest needs
Always ignored
Loved
Tears fall
Blindfold
Ripped away
Hidden things
Shown
Leaving self
Vulnerable
Unprotected heart
Shredded
Pain is left
Always pain
It’s comfortable
After time passes
You can survive
Bury the pain
Ignore it
It will go
Perhaps sanity
Will go too
Senseless hurt
Should never
Ask the question
The answers
Can devastate
Nothing soothes
Nothing helps
The abyss
Waits
The darkness
Grows deeper
Darker
The abyss
Is there
Waiting
Like a panther
Stalking
Patient
Wants
Needs
Desires
Ignored
Always duty
Always cold
No reprieve
In sight
Caged
Marking time
Spiraling
Into the abyss
So quiet
So dark
So deep
So nothing
The abyss
Waits
Always waiting
Nothing
Except the
Abyss
Always there
No escape
The abyss
So inviting
Needs
Wants
Desires
Left in the
Cold abyss
Nothing
Penetrates
The abyss
Holds secrets
Spiraling into
Darkness
The abyss
Calls to me.
