A Dark Reflection.

A Dark Reflection.

It is said that, when you stare into the abyss,

                The abyss, stare right back, into you.

To that I say, that in the lonely light of day,

                Never have I heard something, more true

The cracks in my vision, the scars on my mask,

                The break in my voice, the dread in my task

Scraping by with each act, I force myself to pass

                Drowning in an endless pool, each breath a desperate gasp

And as I feel myself begin to sink, I have lost my will to fight

                My eyes close to break, the bleak blackness of the night

The knife is grasped, life flashes past, I hear the harp commence

                 For inside this silent solitude, I witness, a world void of sense

It is said that, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss, stares right back, into you.

                I have become the abyss, and now, so have you.
