Looking so long
Into the abyss

Suddenly

I notice it's looking back

And now it has seen
To the blackest depths
Of me... As I it
Never ending emptiness
An immense void
Which has not
Is not
Nor ever will be
Filled

A life; a soul reflected
In it's inky
Infinity
Swallowing me
Then regurgitating
Each of us back and forth
Into the other
Dying to feel
Necessary

Frantically searching
For a way out
Based on  a quote I heard while watching "Criminal Minds" on TV.
"And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." -Friedrich Nietzsche   ( Yes, inspiration can even be found on TV!)
