Dark Abyss...A poem
I don’t want to know
What waits for me in the dark
Hiding in the shadows below
Stirring such fear in my heart
It waits patiently for me
My steps leading me further away
Knowing I can never be free
For there are always other days
Ever it draws me back
To the lip of the dark abyss
Daring me to finally attack
To give in to my deepest wish
Fear holding on so tight
As I fall hard to my knees
Unable to bear the true sight
My lips spilling with useless pleas
Yet the harder I resist
The more the evil grows
Till I have choice but submit
To try and stop the evil flow
Denial rises loud and strong
As I scream uselessly in my head
So hard to face the many wrongs
As I face the dark abyss waiting… under my child’s bed
