Stephanie Leann Poet Free verse

Your Abyss

A muffled voice barely audible
his words are ice
cold enough to freeze the warmest heart
My Heart
As heavy as lead
slowly drowning me
pulling me into a never ending abyss
Darkness
Silence
Emotions
my own madness taking control
surrounded by my own desperation 
the more I struggle 
the more I become the rusty weather worn anchor
oxygen deprived lungs
Burning
gasping at any change to feel alive
