Staring Into the Abyss

You may stand staring at the abyss
            For my whereabouts in life's eclipse

         To just find my rusted shadows
            Where eternal winds of darkness blow

         For I am mossy jagged edges beneath your feet
             Soaked in freeze of fate's downbeat

          When I hear sound of sobbing rain
             I cling to filthy cavities of disdain

          Decayed veins running beneath my skin
              Curled to burnt frames of bin

         Your torpid footsteps losing memories of momentum
             Shall fail to gather my littered hopes after doldrums

         From your closed palms smell of love escaped long
           On your return my cinereous silence shall tag along
