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

Her hands caressed the skin that was not mine My lungs were burned from what I did not feel Her fingertips were wasted like cheap wine That I would from its empty bottom steal. The torture spurns my only hope tonight Alone to bed I move still incomplete The patience lost is precious to my […]
