Escape From the Abyss
I’ve been to the edge of the abyss, the deep dark dungeon that is love
I fell and kept falling, my heart continually being consumed by its emptiness
At times an enjoyable ride, as if floating on clouds of white, slowly blowing in the wind
Excitement would electrify my body, jolting me with its sweet, addictive sensations
A high so incredible and mind-blowing that I happily tossed sanity aside
But then the ride got rocky, dangerous, a life-threatening experience that tested my mettle
My mind tearing at the seams, slowly cracking under the undeniable force of wantonness
My body a lifeless mass of nothingness that was no longer under my control
No longer powered, running on fumes, its heart being tortured and crushed mercilessly
Oh, what a dreadful place it is, building you up just so knocking you down hurts more
Survival instinct kept me cloaked, pervading the darkness and its devices
I fought all its monsters, those voracious beasts that chomped at my dying existence
In the abyss I found a light, it was small and feeble, but a light nonetheless
I nurtured that starving ember with what remained of my tortured soul
Fed it my hopes, my dreams, every bit of positivity that survived Love’s massacre
It became a mighty flame, melted my shackles and I made my escape from the abyss
