Abyss

Part 1.

You are furious

You can’t place my laughter in shallow realms

If I belted empty, meaningless ricochets

Across empty rooms and temporary lights

I wouldn’t frustrate you

You wanted death,

But I raged against that dark night

It looked back at me

And we both laughed

Many people didn’t return

You didn’t really return

I am here. For you.

Part 2.

I truly believe,

It is only the artists

And the prophets

Who can step into the abyss

Who can return bathed in light.

And even then.

We don’t all return

All of us doesn’t return.

But I still,

Am laughing
