Deepness of Abyss

The darkness falls and I am covered o’er
An overwhelming feel of nothing right
The lack of sound inside my head does roar
With walls so high they emulate the night

I huddle cold in heat that makes me sweat
The lack of motivation rules my soul
The dripping love of piercéd heart’s regret
Of failing life, not living truths I know

The lack of love can shatter souls apart
Where nothing lies inside the depths of me
The chasm ruins perfect part of heart
Pretended black’s the only truth I see

To live with you would heal my soul, my life
Resolve my pain and comfort all my strife

The Gates Unopened

The dam is blocked, no water can escape And pressure builds as each and every drop Is captured, held, and locked within the stone, Another ounce, increasing water’s weight. Nothing flows from artificial walls; The gates unopened, waiting for the key To unlock the power waiting for release, To flood with peace and dampen bittered […]
