The abyss is growing up above me
Below my feet is sinking quicksand
A light far in the distance
Reveals a raging flame within me

Is hope fruitless
Can the foundation be broken
How long must I fight to keep this dark grey haze at bay
and have it become smaller and smaller in size
instead of returning to engulf me and seep into my body
through any orifice it finds

Please, my darling angel Gabriel
Do you have a message for me from the realm of light
Is my path smoother and solid up ahead
and will you close the wound that I am healing
when it’s still delicate and vulnerable
Easily torn open by the shadows of the past,
the shadows of the present,
future monsters in the night

Pray, pray, pray
that light will find me
Prey, prey, prey
the shadows hunt
I notice a hole in my skin secreting blood
Did the shadows win
