The Abyss

I wander lonely and sad until I fall.

I find the Abyss

It speaks to me in tones of gall



It tells me what lies on the fringe

and I can see the inside of your mind

I try to approach but I can make no lead



I do not understand what you think

I cannot understand what you think

I will not understand what you think 



I jump into the void that is your Abyss

And fall unto your unconsciousness

I fall and wonder why I jumped into you



I find the end of my search in your Abyss

As I linger on your Kiss

I don’t regret the jump Into your Abyss



But I Feel you shutting me out 

Out Into the Wind and Cold 

Into the Cold of the Cruel Cruel World



When I ask you to let me in 

You only push me out harder

I want to force you deep into your own Abyss



But I cannot hurt that Abyss

That undying unwavering Abyss

I try to pull my feelings from deep



I end up hurting the thing I love 

I end up wanting to destroy the Abyss

I don’t want to live in your abyss 



I don’t want to love you any more.

I want to fall into my own abyss

and slip into unconsciousness
