The Abyss

Falling into the abyss

Dark, cold, empty

Alone and lost

Clutching and clawing

At nothing

An agonized scream

Tears from your throat

Piercing the soul

The heart shattering to pieces

Losing faith in all you knew

The ones you loved

Are left behind

As you slowly lose grip

Being claimed by the darkness

Falling further and futher

To the point of no return

Lost...gone forever

No hopes of turn back

You hit the bottom

A place worse than hell

A secluded cell

With only yourself to keep company

Cold nothingness

Abandonment seeps into your skin

Chilling to the bone

Staying like this for

ETERNITY!!!

So glad I came to read some of your new poems. Sorry I haven't been active for awhile. This is a good one. Very well written. It could be metal lyrics though. Maybe your could write one about rainbows and unicorns? <3
