Abyss
I feel her cold tendrils licking at my heels as I tread water, hovering in shallows just at the brink,
I know she’s ready to pull me down if I let her, sweep me beneath the undertow
It’s like the quiet before the thunder, the calm before the storm, the smooth sailing before you sink
In her silken voice calling my name —our name from fathomless fathoms below —
She calls to me in our voice, my other half, the dark side of me
