Abyss
Inside a box that has no walls
Wrists bound with invisble bonds
And locks that no fool can open
The shrouded mind rages
Fire, ice, a sea of sickness
Clouding, seaping through my head
Words spoken with a poisoned kiss
Wishing me dead
My soul
Bled dry by control
Helpless
Spirals blindly into madness
Propelled into the pit
I bleed and weep
Sadness holds me still
And stifles breath
Half awake yet half asleep
A living death
Internal torture tearing at my chest
Heart pumping madly in my breast
Dead dreams
Clutching tight and choking
Stoking a fire
And a desire to die
To perish into dust
Passing day by day
Every minute of every hour
With no path leading outwards
Always back inside
where doubting demons hide
with lead upon my feet
I climb each weary step
Zombie like and in retreat
My back against the wall
I climb a tower of torment
Knowing I will fall
Back
