the abyss



the life the love the eyes,
the long night filled with cries,
the times i tried and cried,
now my story to tell ill try.

first few pages our story begun,
she was like a spark i never had,
i was like hate that finally loved,
now to myself i try to run.

the signs how i ignored,
the wormth turned to cold,
the open love now fold,
young passion now old.

in the dark i write this piece,
of a me that once lived,
a me i dont you shouldnt be,
of dark ending you now see
