I've stared into the abyss,
For so long,
I fear its looking back at me,

Realizing all the thoughts,
I'm too afraid, to speak,

Digging into me,
Learning more with every,
Tear that falls,

I've been staring into the abyss for so long,
It knows me,
It knows my story,

It knows all the secrets,
I tried so hard to keep,

All the haunting memories,
I tried so hard to erase,

And it knows of these words,
How I scribbled them across the page,
With tears running down
My cheeks
