Over the Abyss
I should have known,
Should have seen it coming.
I ignored the signs,
I tried to embrace the light,
To live a good life.
Only the darkness was too strong.
The shadows consumed my soul.
I tried to fight back, only
I was too weak.
All the difficulties I faced—
Try as I might, I could not overcome them.
Darkness consumed my heart,
I started to lose my mind.
All of my problems, I tried to hide.
The forces of darkness
Had me in their sights. Though
I tried to fight back, I had no help.
I could not embrace the light.
I was sent spiraling out of control.
Though I was in its grasp,
I continued to resist.
If I struggle for all eternity,
I’ll still refuse to give in.
I still have a will of my own.
It is not enough.
Stuck in a prison,
Hanging over the abyss.
I lost another life; I wonder
If I will be missed.
My soul is up for ransom,
The price too high to pay.
Help me, save me—
My life is undone.
I lost this round
In the game we play.
I missed the opportunities
To even the score.
I strayed from the path
I was given,
Lost in the wilderness—
Nothing forgiven.
Whispers from the grave
Calling me home.
My soul is lost, cannot be saved.
Lost in a vacuum
Of time and space.
Screaming in agony,
I am out of place.
Hanging over the abyss,
Floating in space.
