ABYSS

To love is to be free of solitude,

To love is to set yourself up for the fall,

To love is to open one's heart,

with all,

he who loves learns the price or the toll,

between a rock and a hard-place,

is where I find myself at this point in my life,

sanctity found only because I've been here before,

shed blood, crushed souls, burnt memories and strife,

hurting all who have loved me,

I ALWAYS SEE THE DISAPPOINTMENT 

a woman that unknowingly saved my life,

against the odds I opened my heart,

with full awareness that I would deal with this night,

but wouldn't change it for the world, not even one part,

feeling cold and alone,

betrayed and unknown,

during the prime of my life,

over night, I soon will take that plane,

to that place I've thought of,

one way flight,

paradise, freedom, and where I'll KNOW,

I am loved,

And if it's the place I've been told of,

if it really exists,

I'll be high as a monkey,

in a tree, 

somewhere beyond the abyss.
