My Abyss – Poetry

They say
When you gaze into an abyss
For long
It starts gazing into you
But I didn’t tell them
I know this gazing contest
I know my abyss
Like I know my skin
Every night
When the world
Plunges into silence
My abyss visits me
Like a dark angel
Dark and hollow
We stare at each other
For another eternity
Eyes are met
Tears are shed
And darkness is fed
To the darkness itself
Drop by drop
Before dawn
It flies back
Not to another valley
Not to another world
To its home
My heart
Pumping black ink
Not a ruby red fluid
That’s how it is
When you know
You are too dark for the world
To light for yourself
You take out the poison
From your veins
Every night
When the world
Plunges into silence
And inject it back.

Inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche Quote

“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
