To the back of me is the Abyss <br />and my feet are already at the edge. <br />Suddenly the dark seems so inviting, <br />and I remember a time I was happy. <br /> <br />Now I only live in the past, <br />I stumble through the present. <br />I can see no future. <br />The sense my life once made, <br />is gone. <br /> <br />Dark dreams fill my sleep, <br />my emotions have lost all sensation, <br />I am all alone, <br />so alone... <br /> <br />My lifelines fall short at every cast. <br />I am drowning in a sea of dispair. <br />I do not want to fight anymore, <br />maybe all is lost after all... <br /> <br />If I must, then I shall <br />step back into the Abyss and let it be. <br />I was happy there once, <br />I can be happy there again.<br /><br />Dewald Viljoen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-abyss-9/
