Abyss

Turn off the lights,

What do you see,

Do I shine in your eyes,

As you do to me.

Am I hard to see,

Or am I clear.

Must you feel around to see if I am near.

Alone you must feel,

In the dark,

An endless pit,

A dreadful abyss.

Do not worry,

Flip that switch,

What do you see…

One day I hope its me.

I know for a fact I won’t let you fall,

You wouldn’t have to worry about feeling for walls.

Don’t fall in the pit,

Or let the pendulum swing,

The smell in the abyss is horrific.

Wouldn’t want you to fall,

Nor smell its stinginess.

Not going to rush,

It’s not a race,

I shall take my time,

Like a mouse in a maze.

For confusing at times,

And hard to see,

But in the end there is certainty.

A reward for the trouble that was.

I just hope the maze isn’t too hard.
