Shade of the Abyss Pt.1 From the distance, in a backdrop I see your cooling slate grey eyes your fair hair of faultless order like meticulously placed rays of light you seem so real, electric and radiant yet so bitter and chronically impure encompassing the abstract you embody an ideal that will leave no man intact for you live only as an idea in a selfish mind and only appear in the corner of one’s eye perfectly incomprehensible I plead to never see you again one can only hope to forget you for this I will escape you to leave you empty and adorned Shade of the Abyss Pt.2 This seething shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma while you live in the corner and trickle into the shadows until you bend out of sight praising the fault of your glory trying to obscure your might in the power of your vacant presence I can still see you, even so far away your hair drifts like a sunken net weaved in pristine purpose to catch me in your depths and pull me from sleep to leave me in a darkened expanse you reach to me, to sink my sanity to drown me, in my own sanctity you tare open my eyes to your blinding vision attempting to bind this division I wither and fall from your grasp whilst you dissolve in a pale memory
