In the Abyss

My dark soul of damnation deserves decay
as I drown in the abyss from deceitful debauchery
with the help of my decadent deluded mind
and the staged dastardly deeds of defiance from choices made
when my heart filled with delusion turned demon needing to damage
from my demonic dare of digging deeper into a self-created darkness
driven by the diabolical devastation of evil from disbelief
when love became discontented from a disappointing disaster
and my own mental disarray of disliked disorder
I hold my soul in disgraceful disgusting disdain
from my heart becoming demonized by dishonesty
