alone's abyss

alone's abyss

alone's abyss

sleeplessness can't seem to care -
that sanity lives a nightmare.

self's protector: good sir will -
has long departed for a thrill.

desire & her hungry hounds -
refuse to host love's breeding ground.

& yearning's longing to but yearn?
subdued by soul's failure to burn.

...but most of all: alone's abyss.
