Abyss

You only feel alive,

When a troubled wind is blowing,

Or feel happy when the darker waters stir.

.

You only find your purpose,

When the warning signs are showing,

Or in all the shades of doubt that can occur.

.

You only feel elation,

When there’s hell outside your door,

Offering you the sweetest dose of sin.

.

You only feel a longing,

When you’re wanting something more,

And you only like the outcome where you win.

.

I’ve no idea what goes on,

Inside that wildfire mind,

But one thing I should’ve known right from the start.

.

Is if I look too long into you,

The only thing I’ll find,

Is the abyss staring back inside your heart.
