When the abyss gazes
back into me,
what does it see,
I wonder!
Does it see
another abyss,
but deeper?
What is it like,
to be an abyss?
To be unfathomable,
vast & infinite?
I wonder if the abyss
has similar questions
to ask of me:
"What is it like
to be a human?
To be unfathomable,
vast & infinite,
and to not realise it?"
I think I'm an abyss,
deeper, just not as empty.
And maybe every verse I write
is my shot at getting emptier?
