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.
