at the edge of the Abyss
I have tried so hard to keep her out.
She burns me in the name of love.
But she is ice and it melts my skin
Like flames when she embraces me.
The moon catches the lightÂ
spilled by the sun
It pours it into my memory
In  starless  nights.
I tore out my heart
So it could not hurt anymore.
and stitched the wounds
So she could not get inside me.
But when the dead stars
spill there ancient light.
I find her tearing at the stiches
In my chest.
Trying to get back in.
I don’t love her
I don’t think I know how
any more.
My hands are redÂ
with my own blood.
All that existÂ
is the Abyss below
Yet I just stand at its edge
And peer downÂ
Into its blackness.
this is the heaviest
of all my lost burdens
