Staring Into the Abyss

My rhyme is grieving, epic, and meant to be that way; words weaving, death thieving, and sorrow is with me each day. We buried new love, our baby left in the snow; a sweet dove, now above, it shattered us, oh what a blow. And I was left . . . staring into the abyss. My beloved left me, he crashed his car in a snow storm; God, I plea why, why he, 1 held his hand wishing it warm. I lost dad so quick, and had no chance to say goodbye; oh, not sick, what a trick, when mom left I thought I would die. And I was left . . . staring into the abyss. Oh, dark deathly thief, my grandma went to sleep one night; I am grief, a lost leaf, my words fall bleeding on this white. ____________________________ March 11, 2019 Poetry/Rhyme/Staring Into The Abyss Copyright Protected, ID 19- 1123-021-02 All Rights Reserved.
