Forthright Plight

I stare into the abyss
Drenched in darkness 
Such astute draconianic situation 

How deep it is
For pareidolia as coping mechanism
A mirk gorge

Painfully intoxicating 
I like to dern in the night
Yet I seek to be in sight

I am an aonaran 
A nyctophile
The aggrieving jeopardize situation 

My hands darkened with what I've done
I sit in the dark
Alone
