I turn my gaze towards the void,
And stare into the deep abyss,
To meet the blackened eyes within,
The invite of damnation’s kiss.

I speak into great beyond,
And share the thoughts in my control,
To voice the words I’ve never said,
The secrets of a tortured soul.

I step back from the edge of fate,
And give thanks for the love I feel,
To walk the ever winding road.
The path to where my heart can heal.
