Dear Abyss
Dear Abyss, how long do you think you can hold onto me so tightly
Dear Abyss, Tell me what it is that you want
And I will feed you
“Bring me your joy, your love, and your health”
I can’t drain all of this out of myself
And be expected to carry out unharmed
So I’ll steal it from others
All for a chance to be in your arms once more
Dear Dead Abyss, I think it’s time for us to part ways
Call me old fashioned
But we can pretend that this never happened
So that’s what I’ll do
I’ll miss you
I love you
I hate you
- Wes Rose
