The Abyss Within

In the depths of my mind,

A darkness does dwell,

A place where the light,

Has long been expelled.

 

In this world of shadow,

There is no hope or joy,

Just pain and sorrow,

That one cannot avoid.

 

The ghosts of my past,

Haunt me day and night,

Reminding me of my sins,

And filling me with fright.

 

The darkness consumes me,

Like a fire burning bright,

And I cannot escape it,

Try as I might.

 

My soul is lost,

In this eternal night,

And I fear that I'll never,

See the morning light.

 

So I embrace the darkness,

And let it take me whole,

For it's the only thing,

That's left in my soul.
